You have expensive haircuts, assuming I have the right definition for "bit" (8 bits = 1 byte 1 dollar?) --joannac 05:33, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Wait, no you don't. I can't divide. --joannac 05:34, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

8 bits to a dollar American. 33 bits to the dollar Australian. Good exchange rate, really. -- UnwiseOwl 05:37, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Knew I would nab the computer crowd. Actual prices were $15 for an adult cut and $13 for a kid cut, plus a tip of course. Throw in a burger and shake and I am way over 256 bits. Overflow! --Thomcat 05:42, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, slight correction. As a 'bit' is archaic (pre-decimalisation), there was actually 80 bits to the Australian pound. Sorry for any confusion caused. Regards, UnwiseOwl 05:49, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

So that means one australian dollar/pound is 10 american dollars, right? Awesome. My america trip is gonna be so cheap. --joannac 05:52, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

UnwiseOwl informs me 1 pound = 3 australian dollars. so AU$1 = US$3.33. Still pretty good. --joannac 05:53, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Pity about this, really... http://www.news.com.au/business/story/0,27753,24703861-31037,00.html -- UnwiseOwl 05:54, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

This may be a paradox... -- UnwiseOwl 05:56, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
