Well, like all, I learnt this at uni. .. as well as lot of other useless stuff.

But in all my years as a well paid and productive 'programmer' ;-) .. I cannot recall ever, a consistent need to read hex (using by brain, that is).

As such, those neuron connections needed to read hex do not exist anymore.

Even the neurons in my brain are smarted than Knuth.

I was tinkering with this use of 'scope' and the math for pointer location, object size, and alignment started working out.
