    correct. the number …
    correct. the number of possible of values for any given binary system is 2^n, where n is the number of digits.

    In this case, 2^6 gives 64 possibilities, which corresponds to the range of 0-63.

    Ever heard of anything being measured from 0-255? RGB values follow this format, as do analog inputs in electrical systems.

    it’s because they use 8 bits [8 zero-or-one values] and 2^8 is 256. 0-255 is 256 numbers! :D random fact.

    Wow! That’s a nice one!

    For a little added fun you could add automatic ball transfer mechanism to always add one to have it count automatically.
    Make 64 columns and it’ll never ” overflow” for the rest of your lifetime ;D No matter how fast and optimized you can make it – at least with marbles it’ll never be possible to make it fast enough that a single human will witness an overflow without “cheating”.

    I’m not too good at binary, so someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but: binary is a “base 2″ system. Every number on his machine is a 2 to some power. 1 = 2^0, 2=2^1, 4=2^2. So the number 5 would be 2^2 + 2^0 = 4 + 1… or in “binary notation” you would write that as 101… so on his machine, you would have 1 marble in the first position, zero marbles in the second, and 1 marble in the third position. That’s how come his machine is binary.
