It probably isn't entertaining at all, unless you like me struggled with how
to best explain general principles.

When I taught Web Design and was trying to explain Hex and Binary values I
had students that had never encountered anything but the decimal system. I
tried so hard to explain it in a theoretical way, but designers tend to get
headaches from theories <g>

I actually ended up building boxes with 8 slots, each slot just big enough
to accommodate one ping-pong ball, behind each slot I had a bowl filled with
the appropriate amount of candy.

Then, when I asked the students in which slot they should place the
ping-pong ball to get the most candy, everyone understood, and everyone also
understood that if they placed eight ping-pong balls they would get even
more.

I never did the same with Hex values though <g>
