So for clarification, Geek is a Nerd with potential, right? Or is a nerd with an understanding of technology? Before you nerds became geeks, I would figure the best way to entertain you would be to select a dungeon master and commence with the multi sided die...hahahahaha!!!
*Voodoo swaggers off to pop his collars...that is right bishes...MULTIPLE COLLARS AT ONCE!*

Geeks tend to specialize their learning in finite interests. Computers, cars, photography, legos, dice with more than 6 sides. They sink a lot of time into that one field. Types that fall asleep at their keyboards.

Transistors are basically glorified light switches with 2 states. Off (0) and On (1). If you have a bank of 4 light switches, you have 4-bits there are 16 different combinations which are used to represent the numbers 0 - 15.
(NOTE: bits are read from right to left)
0 0 0 0 - 0
0 0 0 1 - 1 first bit
0 0 1 0 - 2 second bit
0 0 1 1 - 3
0 1 0 0 - 4 third bit
0 1 0 1 - 5
0 1 1 0 - 6
0 1 1 1 - 7
1 0 0 0 - 8 four bit
1 0 0 1 - 9
1 0 1 0 - 10
1 0 1 1 - 11
1 1 0 0 - 12
1 1 0 1 - 13
1 1 1 0 - 14
1 1 1 1 - 15
Notice
- The first bit is the equivalent of 1
- The second bit is the equivalent of 2
- The third bit is the equivalent of 4
- The forth bit is the equivalent of 8
if bit 2 and bit 3 are turned on, then this is the equal to 6.
Here is a video of a mechanical bit calculator that might help.
