[Puzzle] Purple #175 - Binary

This one should be familiar: It a pic of the original perplex city postcard with the following text:

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't.

So I guess the answer is what we worked out when we got the postcard in the first place?

I don't get why this card is a purple!!!! I thought it'd be more like a yellow or a green...oh well, generous of MC to give us a healthy amount of points for an easy card.

EDIT: I haven't actually got this card, so I can't try answering it, but I suspect that it's a little more involved than we think...

Oh well, guess MC felt pity for us after not getting all of the clues for the live events, and felt that they should give us bonus points for something easy!!
