I'm looking for the name of a short black and white movie in which people were given an allotted amount of time at birth, and used that time to buy things. For example, a can of beans in the store would be priced something like 23 minutes, and that amount would be deducted from one's remaining time. People could perform services for each other and settle the transaction using time remaining. A key part of the story involves the person going to the central temporal authority to petition that his mother be given more time.
In the movie Martian, why does Mark use Hexadecimal to communicate with NASA? Couldn't numerals from 0 to 9 sufficed for indicating the number corresponding to the alphabet?
