Thanks Ethan for the code help and the tip. I need to get out of that 
habit of not including errors. This code works well, thanks! I cannot 
believe I was that close to the solution!

Now here is something that confuses me, the binary numbers are numbers 
not strings, so why are they put in quotes as if they are strings?
