Here's something that Enoch could say about humans and their colors:
"Humans' skin color ranges from ivory to dark brown, but they also wear clothing of many different colors. They wear clothing to keep warm, communicate status, and sometimes just because it is pretty."

Here's something that Enoch could say about binary and other symbolic systems:
"Probes use a binary system for all information. Humans use many different kinds systems, but for counting usually they use a system with ten digits, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. For writing many humans use the symbols and language that you and I have been using. How did you learn this language and system of symbols?"

That's a lot to write. Any suggestions for shortening it? Anything else we should ask?
