Yeah - I remember thinking on some of those conversion questions that I did not really know what they did - when it comes to strange or complex conversions like that I just get the manual out. It is certainly not something one does every day.

I have never seen a need for some of the conversion codes described because there is usually something less obscure and more descriptive (English like) that can be used. Now for some programmers the formats and conversions in the test may be used but I have worked for companies in manufacturing, education, banking, and accounting and some of the conversions in the test I would never and have never used.
