Here's a tiny riddle that DM reminded me of because of his... wisdom. Yes. Anyway, here it is:

If a 5901 byte file is converted into kb, it only sums up to 5.7 kb. Why?

People who know a lot about computers should be able to easily solve this.

EDIT: I decided to make this a bit more fun... here's a bunch of other riddles I know of. If you get them all, I've got a special prize for you Smile

1.
With thieves I consort
With the vilest, in short
I'm quite at ease in depravity
Yet all divines use me
And savants can't lose me
For I am the centre of gravity.
What am I?

2.
The beginning of eternity
The end of time and space
The beginning of every end
And the end of every place.
What is it?

3.
It is above the highest thing, and lower than the lowest. It is better than God, and worse than the Devil. The dead eat it, and if you will eat it, you will die.
What is it?

4. Hard one

My love, when I gaze on thy beautiful face
Careering along, yet always in place
The thought has often come into my mind
If I ever shall see thy glorious behind.
What are you?

5. Another hard one

What is the longest word in the dictionary?

!!!! , ...

—staring wildly up and down
the here we are now judgment day

cross the threshold have no dread
lift the sheet back in this way.
here is little Effie’s head
whose brains are made of gingerbread
