Under https://github.com/gavinandresen/bips/blob/fd99a8ce04dbad96fb275e0300a7ee669e70f418/bip-0101.mediawiki in section "Deployment":

Quote
Activation is achieved when 750 of 1,000 consecutive blocks in the best chain have a version number with bits 3 and 14 set (0x20000004 in hex).

Am I missing something here? 0x20000004 in hex has bits 3 and 29 set. Where is bit 14?

Short answer: yes

Note that the link you give is for Gavin's private github account, not the official BIP repo.

Gavin's reply here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/bitcoin-xt/bug/bitcoin-xt/T9Q_zIn3K9M/6MNfQayeDgAJ says that the BIP originally said "bits 1,2,3 and 14 set (0x20000007 in hex)." and that he'd change it to "bits 1, 2, 3 and 30 set (0x20000007 in hex)"

If I look at the official BIP here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0101.mediawiki, it hasn't been changed yet, but I assume it should now read "bits 1, 2, 3 and 30 set (0x20000007 in hex)".
