The Day of the Programmer is celebrated in Russia on the 256th day of the year, September 13th.
Number 256 was chosen due to the fact that this is an amount of whole numbers which may be expressed by one eight-bit byte, and also this is the maximum power of 2, being less than the number of days in a year – 365. To celebrate this day, a sporting and mass participation event “Championship 100” will be held at SUSU by the Institute of Natural Sciences.
