Presumably any binary NUMBER will start with a 1, much as we don't put leading zeroes on numbers in base 10, but a binary SEQUENCE is surely a random sequence of 0s and 1s ? So a 4 digit sequence must be one of these:
0000 0001 0010 0011 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001 1010 1011 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1111 Of which I'm fairly sure half the digits are 0 and half 1!
