Programmers' Day

September 13, 2010

Objective:
Programmers' Day is the day number 256 of the year

The number 256 was chosen because it is the number of distinct values that can be represented with an eight-bit byte—a number that is typically very well known to programmers.
'256' in hexadecimal is '100' ('0x100'), and it's the highest power of two that is lower than 365 (the number of days in a year).
