Every number system is base 10.
Binary is base 1+1.
Ternary is base 2+1.
Octal is base 7+1.
Decimal is base 9+1.
Duodecimal is base B+1.
Hexadecimal is base F+1.
Excuse me but 1+1=2 not 10. Binary is base 2. Check mate.
1+1=10 in binary
Try explain that to non binary people. They won't get it
The joke "there are 10 kinds of people in the world" exists for a reason.
There are 2 kinds of people in the world : Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data
Extrapolate is a fancy word for pulling something out of ones ass.
That's not true. In university we did some base-32 calculations just for "fun". We had to use letters of the alphabet for digits after 9, but that's no different from what people are used to with hexadecimal numbers.
I was joking. Non binary people have nothing to do with binary numbers. It was a pun. If you are non binary and took that as an insult, I'm very sorry
Oh my bad. I didn't catch that. 😓
Now hold on there buddy, dont go assuming now! My best friend 01001101 01100001 01110010 01111001 might day otherwise!
I was trying to make a silly dumb joke but it doesn't seem like it landed :/
I chuckled
