S1:E3 - "Hex Queen"

Let's explore a very special number together: 16. It's the core of the hexadecimal system, and, in this episode, we'll learn how to count in hexes, discuss where we might see the hexadecimal system in real life, and breakdown the math that makes the number 16 so special. Based on Vaidehi Joshi's blog post, "Hexes and Other Magical Numbers".
