Yes there is, dechex().

Have you ever seen a movie called Barry Lyndon? There's this beautiful scene
right in the beginning, this is how the dialogue goes:
Nora: "I have hidden my neck ribbon somewhere on my person. If you find it,
you can have it. You are free to look anywhere for it. I will think little
of you if you do not find it."
Barry: "I cannot find it."
- "You haven't looked properly."
- "I cannot find it."
- "I'll give you a hint."
- "I feel the ribbon."
- "Why are you trembling?"
- "At the pleasure of finding the ribbon."
- "Liar."
Nora hid the ribbon between her breasts. Barry looked for it only from her
hands, failing to find it. as Nora says "I'll give you a hint", she takes
Barry's hand to here bosom, and Barry eventually finds the ribbon.
In a way, you resemble Barry, who was so reluctant to look for the answer
while it was practically right under his nose. Was it courtesy, shyness or
plain stupidity? We shall never know. If you get a chance to watch Barry
Lyndon, I recommend you to do so, it is a masterpiece by Stanley Kubrick.
