Good brain teaser! I don't exactly know that much about megabytes though!

never really understood why a megabyte isn't 1,000,000 bytes. :p
Because it is the product of binary numbers represented by 0 and 1 to reflect digital states. So you get 1 , 2 , 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 (which is 1 K almost but not quite 1000) and so on.
Hehe. I liked it, couldn't have got it without the hint. Cool.
ok, so maybe I AM a geek...Get off my case!!
Yep...I'm a geek! And proud of it!! Great teaser!!
Nice hint lol
I got it!
I wonder if a difference should be made between the general megabyte, and the more specific mebibyte.
