He said in base 16 that he was a youthfull 51 decimal years young! (or 0x48B7 days young! ;-D ) Above is the way of C language writing base 16 values. For us Assembler programmers, it is X'0033' in years or X'48B7' in days! Both are valid, but not only, ways of representing base 16 values. Look in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal for more info.
