As Wild West Coder progresses, I've started looking into security and password hashing. This requires a lot of changes to the bits and bytes of data. And I'm not talking about the bits that horses use in the Wild West. Werner Buchholz (happy birthday, btw) coined the term "byte" to describe a series of bits. Specifically the number of bits required to encode a character. Today, we think of a byte as being eight bits. A nibble as being four bits, and a quanta as being 1/32nd of a byte. Back in the 1950's when Buchholz coined the phrase byte, how many bits did it require to make one byte?
1) Eight
2) Six
3) Four
4) Two
