A bit is literally the smallest unit of data in computing. It's represented by a 1 in binary. Bits can be grouped to make them easier to work with. A group of 8 bits is known as a byte.

A bit can either be a 1 or a 0 (kind of like an on/off switch). Those are its binary values. Like, a bit can either have a binary value of 1, or a binary value of 0.
why is a bit represented by 1 in binary and not a 0
It can be either, a bit is a "BInary digiT" (Binary being the base-2 numeric representation). 1 and 0 are possible values for a binary digit.
It's analogous to a Decimal Digit (base-10), where a digit can take all values from 0 upto 9. Also analogous to an Octal Digit (base-8), where a digit can take all values from 0 upto 7. Also analogous to a Hexadecimal Digit (base-16), where a digit can take all values from 0 upto F. etc.

I went on the game. How do u play? I do not get the game at all?
The game is about converting from base-2 into base-10 then converting from base-10 to base-2. each row is a separate calculation to solve
Look at the numbers along the bottom, it's like going back to primary school addition. if the column contains a 1 then you include the number, if it's a zero, you don't include it
Binary numbers are powers of 2. (right-hand side is the smallest, and left-hand-side is the largest. e.g. 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1
