As you all may have noticed, I have a new avatar. And as it is customary, I am going to ask a question related to that avatar. The first person to post the correct answer will become the Ultimate Nerd of NMA (the title is currently held by DJ Slamak, but hopefully that will change soon) and holder of my Eternal Respect.

The question of this competition is:

What is the octal code of the grey background color on the avatar picture?
 
hue 160
sat 0
lum120
red 128
green 128
blue 128

Am I right?
 
#555555 - AaBbCcDdEeFf1234567890

Hexadecimal color code?
 
Hint: Guessing won't help. You need to do something with the picture if you want to find the right answer.

Hint eh? Say no more! SAY NO MORE!

*wink* To do something eh? *wink*

*nudge* "with" the picture eh? *nudge*

The right answer is it eh? Say no more! SAY NO MORE!
 
106 106 106 would be the octal equivalent of the RGB values for your grey background.

Edit: Assuming that red, green and blue are measured by the 0-255 value scale, that is.

Hmm odd Corel thinks the RGB is 70,70,70 what software are you using?
 
Very good, Montez, but that wasn't the question, so... WRONG!

And yes, Dove, you are the closest. Your guess is wrong, of course, but you are using the proper format - the number we are looking for indeed has 8 digits.

Keep trying and someone will get it right eventually. If you don't, then I will have to take the Ultimate Nerd title for myself... :wink:

Got it this time mufucker. :wink:

*edit* Had to use a program, my calculations were wrong the first time.

106 octal is 70 decimal. Ah well, once again I don't understand Ratty's avatar question - some one want to explain? Dove, I'm looking at you (assuming you're correct, that is).
 
Every color code is saved in a specific format on a PC. This format is 24 bits. Now then. When you get the color code(which is easily done), it is NOT in the form of 106106106(or707070) it is merely a bunch of numbers(it looks a lot more coherent if you view it in hexadecimal, though). IN this case the number was 4605510. Converted to octal, it's the number you see above. IN hexadecimal it is:
464646.
