How to Play

  • 1

    Observe the Target Decimal inside the play area.

  • 2

    Each switch represents a 'Bit' with values from 128 down to 1.

  • 3

    Toggle switches ON (1) to add their value to your Current Sum.

  • 4

    Match the Current Sum to the Target exactly to score a point.

  • 5

    Each success adds +5 seconds to the timer.

  • 6

    When time hits zero, the run ends. Speed and accuracy both matter.

Binary Basics

Binary in Plain English:
Bits That Add Up

Just 1s and 0s

Computers store and process data with two values: 1 and 0. That system is binary. In this game you flip eight switches (bits) so their values add up to a target number between 1 and 255.

The 8-Bit Standard

In computing, a group of 8 bits is called a byte. A single byte can represent numbers from 0 to 255. This became a global standard because it balances efficiency and flexibility in data storage.

Logical Reasoning

Practicing binary logic improves pattern recognition. It forces the brain to understand how numbers are structured rather than relying on memorization.

Tip: Start From the Big Bits

Instead of adding from 1 upward, start with 128 and work down. Turn on a bit only if it still fits under the target.

Target: 160
128 (ON)
32 (ON)
