Hex can have a few meanings based on the context: 1. In a mathematical or computational context, "hex" is an abbreviation of "hexadecimal." This is a base-16 number system that uses sixteen distinct symbols (0-9 and A-F) to represent numbers. 2. In a cultural or supernatural context, a "hex" refers to a curse or spell, typically associated with witchcraft. 3. Hex can also refer to a hexagon, a six-sided polygon in geometry. 4. As a prefix, "hex" is derived from the Greek word for "six" and can be used in various scientific and mathematical terms to indicate the number six. For example, hexachloride, hexapod. So, the general definition of "hex" highly depends on the context it is being used.

Hex is a British television programme developed by Shine Limited and aired on the Sky One satellite channel. The story is set in a remote English boarding school with a mysterious past. Series one explores the supernatural relationship between a Fallen Angel named Azazeal and a student called Cassie who is also a witch. In the second series the story centres around 500 year old annointed one Ella Dee, and Azazeal's son Malachi. Both series of the show are currently available on Region 2 DVD, with the first series released on Region 1 DVD in June 2007. The show was cancelled in April 2006 after the end of the second series. The programme premiered in the United States on BBC America, sometime after, dividing the episodes into two equally long series for American viewers. Series 1 aired in the summer of 2006, while series 2 aired in the summer of 2007.
The New Hacker's Dictionary
hex
1. Short for hexadecimal, base 16. 2. A 6-pack of anything (compare quad, sense 2). Neither usage has anything to do with magic or black art, though the pun is appreciated and occasionally used by hackers. True story: As a joke, some hackers once offered some surplus ICs for sale to be worn as protective amulets against hostile magic. The chips were, of course, hex inverters.
