Maybe because you also cant understand our argument.
It is about remembering the algorithm! Unless you would lecture your interviewee about binary numbers then let him formulate the formula from there. But you wouldnt do that in an interview. You just tell him convert binary to decimal and he should be able to KNOW it. How can you convert that if you dont event know how the base system works. Sigh
Again what does this prove? If you dont have prior knowledge you cant come up with the conversion
