Solution:

The number 3685 requires 12-bits to store, but for the computer
to distinguish 3685 from -3685, one more bit is required. The
answer is 13-bits.

Three correct answers were submitted.
Extra points given:

13-bits         2-points   (10% bonus)

14 to 16 bits   1-point    (5% bonus)

< 13-bits       1/2 point  (2.5% bonus)

> 16-bits       1/2 point  (2.5% bonus)

One response had no name on it. No score was given.
I list out all the text files together and scroll through them.
I can compare them all quickly that way, and score them.

Question 10 was not counted on quiz-2 because it was not stated
clearly enough for anyone to get the answer correct.

I will throw #10 and #11 out, but I'm giving you a chance to get
some extra points.


If you want to try question 10 again...

Here is the question restated...

10. The number 0x0E65 in decimal is 3685. What is the minimum number of bits
    needed to store -3685 in computer memory using two's compliment format?
