Yep, it should be 31. Thanks. (see my comment to Alicorn's post above, and my comment below... sheesh, this is a lesson in double checking things)

Am I dense, or is the binary not 31? 31 in binary is 11111. What's in your post is not even binary coded decimal, as the leading zeros would seem to indicate, since there are two extra 3's. I feel like I'm missing something.

0011001100110001 in ASCII is "31".

Aha! here's the converter used the first time.

No, you aren't being dense. I used the first binary calculator I found on the net to change 31 into binary, and either I entered 31 into it incorrectly or it was just flat out wrong for some reason. Thanks again, and fixed again.
