I still contend that this is all too blunt. Those people that are going to get ``1000'' are going to get it regardless of an indication of its binary-ness and those who aren't going to get it still won't, even if they're hit over the head with it. As it is, those people who are going to get it are going to feel that its cleverness has been reduced, possibly to the point of wannabe-ness, by the inclusion of a hint.
