In the existing instructions, it indicates that the word 0000 1000 in binary would be 16 in decimal. This is incorrect. The correct value for that word is 8. Since the binary representation is also in an SVG, it is easier to just change the decimal value. The solution is unchanged with this value, but understanding the binary representation is key to solving the exercise.

Hey @armahillo, these instructions are generated from the upstream problem specifications. Specifically, they come from this file: I agree that this is wrong. Can you file a PR against the problem specifications repo so that this gets fixed for all tracks? |
