How do I pronounce 0x10c?

There's been some debate about how to pronounce the title for Notch's newest game, 0x10c. Notch knows but apparently it's "a riddle" and he's not telling yet. I've heard that it's related to the programming error that the plot employs to explain the 16-bit CPUs in the far future but I don't know the details.


Solution 1:

Check out http://0x10c.wonderhowto.com/forum/pronounce-0x10c-2075/

there seems to be a lot of discussion as to what it could mean. some answers are below.

hex sixteen c

Zero X

0 to warp speed, considering both 0 and 10^c to be speed notation where c is the constant value for the speed of light… making 10^c some sort of superluminal speed.

Sixteen

Finally, Notch actually confirmed how to pronounce it: https://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/187274697799499777

“Ten to the c”
