“Are you dislexic?!”
“No I’m just representing the number three in binary.” 😂
good!
There 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who count in binary, and those who dont
Surprise trinary!
Ternary?
That’s tertiary to you, pal.

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
Jokes on you, I already owed one beer!
It’s easy to order 1 beer and end up with 31.
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.
I don’t see it… Two fingers and thumb make VI.
I actually forgot about Roman numerals for a second.
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?)
Just make sure you don’t confuse it with original TED talks. TED talks are the only real ones. If there’s anything added to it like x or ed or w/e, it’s not affiliated. Just FYI
I wish they’d post them more than once a year these days…
“Would you possibly want a beer out of three?”
“Yes.”
“There are now only two possible beers left. Would you like to change to another beer?”
“YES!”
The old Monty Beerhall problem!
Oh this is a good one
It looks like the way to ask for 2 beers would be quite offensive.
Endianness matters quite a lot in this situation
In the UK, a reversed V sign is the equivalent of “the finger”, so this is already plenty offensive to me
But he just ordered 6. Rookie mistake.
Looks like 12 to me
… Maybe.
It really depends on, which is the most significant bit… I mean finger.
Most significant digit?
That’s the German 6!
I’m German and I didn’t know we can count to 720 with our hands…
!Explanation: An exclamation mark marks factorial, and 6 factorial is 720.!<

👏👏👏👏👏👏
Sir that is more beers than there are particles in the Universe.
Customer is always right
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…
A quantum mechanic walks into a bar.
He also walks out of the bar.
At the same time.
A temporal traveller walks into a bar.
A temporal traveller walks into a bar.
Hahahahahaha!
How surprised they must have been!
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 isn’t 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 it’s because in the UK they start counting (regularly) with the index finger, so the regular binary two would look unnatural in context

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.
