There 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who count in binary, and those who dont
*crying in IPv4 subnet calculations
...and those who didn't expect this joke to be in ternary
that's six by my count
Binary on fingers really comes into its own when you need to order 1023 beers over heavy background noise. Except when there's a mix-up and you end up with -1 beer.
This sounds like xkcd alt text
Reminds me of this:
Pretty sure he's ordering 6 in this image.
From his perspective, he orders 4.
But if he twitches and puts his fingers closer together, he orders 3.
You mean 7 beers.
he's ordering 7, I think, if you count the thumb.
It looks like the way to ask for 2 beers would be quite offensive.
Endianness matters quite a lot in this situation
Three logicians walk into a bar. The bartender asks, "Do all of you want a beer?"
"I don't know"
"I don't know"
"Yes"
These logic problems reminds me of those Ted-ED riddles.
(anyone here watched Ted-ED videos? its not just me being weird right?)
I wish they'd post them more than once a year these days....
Oh this is a good one

That is actually 5, in Latin.
Off by one error
Thats what I thought at first
An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar...
Never ask for 2 beers though.
ok sign with middle finger....
my more practical finger binary system would have op show 6 beers. 3 beers would be thumb and forefinger. System is digits forward to enemy have missing fingers be 0, raised 1.
He should be sticking out his thumb and index finger. With the index and middle finger up he's showing 6.
Glad he picked up another friend. Ordering only two was getting him into a lot of trouble.
Huh, why? Only four would be a Problem. Even worse, 132.
In the image he isnβt using his thumb to count, so 2 would be the middle finger.
Why would you count with only 4 fingers when the hand has 5?
I think itβs because in the UK they start counting (regularly) with the index finger, so the regular binary two would look unnatural in context
This could have ended up very badly if were only two beers.
Perhaps the bartender is offended since the programmer is giving them the V sign?
It almost works better without the quote
Didn't realize Tommy Lee Jones was bartending these days
So, the minimum number of anything you can order would be zero fingers or 1...
Nah it's meant to be binary. 11 would be 3. Although theoretically he should be holding up his pinky and ring finger.
Thereβs a beer in Australia called XXXX.
The joke is itβs for those who canβt spell BEER, but itβs also for those who canβt count, because if they could, itβd be XL.
"Are you dislexic?!"
"No I'm just representing the number three in binary." π
