I'm sorry are you not listening?

1b is a HEXADECIMAL Number.  As a so-called programmer, did you seriously not consider that?

Try this:

1) Open a Web browser
2) Go to Google.com
3) Type in "Hex 1B" 
4) Click on the first link
5) In the Hexadecimal column find 1B.

Or open your favorite calculator, and convert Hexadecimal 1B to Decimal (Base 10).
