No, I'm sorry, you are wrong. If you are a 'serious' programmer and you cannot do that task in under an hour, you better find your terrible teachers and give them a good talking to. Maybe try to steal their wallets or purses to get some of what they stole from you back. Graduating from any Univ./College (that is not Univ. of Phoenix style scum) should make that particular challenge not just able to be done in under an hour, but it should make you laugh at how easy it is. Yes, easy. Binary is learned in the first month (or less) of any 'good' department's curriculum and should be considered to be the same as PEMDAS is to Algebra in terms of foundational knowledge. I cannot imagine how any teacher not just nakedly after your Pell grant money could ever skip it. What next, will people complain that knowing the difference between and 'int' and 'str' is too difficult to recall? Are pointers too tough? If your comp-sci program did not teach you what binary is, you better go get another degree, because your current one was just theft. Yes, Google, StackOverflow, all that jazz. I get it and do it myself too. But good lord, not being able to code that in under an hour should be embarrassing. For Christ's sake, it's in the 5th episode of flipping CrashCourse for crying out loud, literally kid's videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GSjbWt0c9M&index=5&list=PL8...)
