If your goal is to get the following three concepts into the minds of a large group of people...
- Binary Arithmetic
- Boolean Algebra
- Hexadecimal Arithmetic
...In what order would you present the concepts ?
(That list is in alphabetical order to prevent any implied bias)
Why do you feel that your chosen sequence makes more sense than others ?

Boolean algebra is probably the easiest for people to grasp, as you can use real world examples:
IF it_is_raining
WEAR waterproof
ELSE
WEAR t-shirt
ENDIF
Binary and HEX (or any other base) are especially challenging for people whose mathematical abilies may not be very high. I tried to explain both of those to someone once but they just could not get it.

I hesitate to post a non-KSS counter-argument to your example.

Base-12 -- with eggs. 12 eggs to a box, 12 boxes to a case...
Just don't grind them up.

The order in which they came historically. That would be the preferred logical order, i believe. Will give an opportunity to provide a logical motivation to the next topic.

I am trying to get eggshells ground down to a flour which is fine enough in its powdered form to allow for regular cooking; particularly on a griddle top when mixed with milk and eggs and stuff
The home blender is just not good enough for this purpose; I have already ruined my second one and I'm not going to destroy any others.
I just spent four hours on thirty zillion websites, and apparently my best bet is something called a spice mill grinder.
There is an ocean of those things out there on the market. Interestingly enough, I never knew they existed.
Clueless nubee here: What am I looking for ? What do I need to be looking out for, i.e., in terms of stuff to avoid ?

Uhm, yeah, Try any of the methods of which those people are suggesting; and then try to use that powder for baking real food that you're going to put into your mouth and chew.
Been there, done that, and I'm looking for a spice grinder so that I don't repeat exactly what all those websites are trying to describe.

As they say in the UK, he had a good innings.
One of Harry Turtledove's alternate history series (where aliens invade the Earth during WWII) has in its last book (Homeward Bound) a mission by humans to the alien's home star in the early 21st century. The ambassador to the aliens is one Dr. K...

Laying the blame for all those deaths on one man is juvenle. All of those situations were far more complex than the author(s) would have us believe.

He does not deserve a for his political/diplomatic life

I wholeheartedly disagree... but any explanation I might offer would far exceed the "no politics" rules here so I won't open that door. Suffice it to say I believe the world "as a whole" is in a better place because of Dr. Kissinger.

What I did not put down was that there were only two participants.
