Stanley Kubrick's science fiction epic, "2001: A Space Odyssey", was released 50 years ago this month. The film festival, Cannes Classic, will commemorate the occasion by showing an unrestored 70mm print of the 1968 masterpiece next month.

I'm sure you already saw the explanation but "5010 = 110010" (subscript 2) kinda looks like a binary number and thus the following joke. If you feel that you are explaining something that REALLY shouldn't need explaining then chances are high you're responding to some sort of joke.

The anonymous I was replying to, didn't specify base 10 or base 2 numbering. I assumed he meant base 10, but it's entirely possible he was referring to base 2.
