Many people in this sort of situation only ask about things that match the stricter rule, getting more confident of the answer with each "yes" they receive. But the only way to tell if you've actually understood the rule is to try some examples that you think should receive a "no".

Doh, I had that, except when I used hexidecimal you gave me a no for 8, c, e instead of yes like I expected. I may have mistyped when I did it though.
