Your computer counts using base 16 numbers... so instead of a 10 count required to get from 0 to 10... you need 16... so, after 9 they stuck a b c d e f... so, a count to 20 goes like this...
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0a 0b 0d 0f 0e 0f 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f 20 all the way up to FF which is 255
How that relates to a secret message I don't know. I thought they were mapped to ASCII codes, but these don't seem to all correspond to numbers.
