Question;

If you and dead people can read hex, how many people can read hex?

Heh, just the other day I used 0xDEADBEEF as a boundary identifier in a program... that one's classic, man.

It's based on hexidecimal numbers
0-F are digits so
0xDEAD=13*4096+14*256+10*16+13 base 10
so there are 0xDEAD+1 or 57006 people that can read hex.

Of course, it would be tougher if you got some B!FF in there:

If Biff and Dead people can read hex. How many people can read hex?

Now we have 0x1FB1FF + 0xDEAD people.

If I was feeling creative, I could probably concoct something even worse.

But "I" is not a valid hexadecimal numeral... [;)]
