hello,
im just looking through the worksheets and stuff and found this problem, below the microcontroller pic at the top. the steps and binary bits are all jumbled together. is this correct? or should they be separated?
cheers

Can you please provide a link to the faulty problem?

Yes, there is a formatting issue with Question #1 (as displayed on my browser, Win7 IE8).

On Question #4 of this same page is the following statement: "To represent numbers larger than twenty, the Mayans combined multiple "digits" the same way we do to represent numbers larger than ten."

It should say, "To represent numbers larger than nineteen, the Mayans combined multiple "digits" the same way we do to represent numbers larger than nine."

will it get fixed? I want to work through those worksheets

 

It'll get fixed, but not on a predictable time table. Remember, the people doing the fixing are all volunteers and are vetting the changes and making them without getting anything in return other than a warm fuzzy. My understanding is they make one or two concerted efforts a year to clear the accumulated change requests and sometimes smaller efforts in between.

 

Hello,

I have notified jrap ( our administrator ) and Dcrunkilton ( the Ebook coordinator ) about this error.

For the record see page 8 this pdf link for what it should look like

That should keep you going while we get it fixed.

 

Hello,

I found the PDF containing the MCU question:
http://www.ibiblio.org/kuphaldt/socratic/output/mcu1.pdf

On page 15 you will see the table as intended.

There are more pages of the worksheets in PDF form over here:

If you copy them and paste them to the word, and select all and copy again, and paste to the notepad, and rearrange the position of words then it will be like this:
Step 1: 0001
Step 2: 0011
Step 3: 0010
Step 4: 0110
Step 5: 0100
Step 6: 1100
Step 7: 1000
Step 8: 1001
