Is it sad that I immediately translated the binary to 22, and that I only had to think of what everything added together, and whether the spin of hexaamminecobalt(III) was positive or negative? I honestly don't know why I still remember the rest of the stuff... I can understand the binary, since that's kind of what I do, but I haven't touched Bio or Chem in years (well, five)...
You forgot one thing... If hexaamminecobalt(III) is diamagnetic (as I wrote) all electrons are paired. The spin multiplicity is calculated from unpaired electrons which there are none off, so the spin direction is irrelevant
