Sounds good.

Hmm, indeed. I will keep this in mind, thanks!

Somehow, this math is not working for me. I will think more on how this
works. From what I understand, bit number is:

bit = vector % 32 + (vector / 32) * 16 * 8

So, for example, vector number 32, bit number need to be 128.
With you formula, it comes as 64.
