Reverse 'pixelcoloring' and total amount of colors

[Mike Bonner]

If you want to know which "pixel" is on in a row, you could treat them as
binary bits.  Farthest right in a row is bit 1, next to the left is bit 2..

So your buttons could be   0   0   1   0   1   0  1
                                          64 32 16  8   4   2   1
for a total of 21 which would then tell you the "bit patteren" of your row.

Not fully awake yet, so if there is anything wrong with my example,
hopefully it still makes sense.
