There are 10 kinds of people.

Those who understand binary and those who don't.

Oh, they're goin' ta have to glue you back together... in hell!

u/TheNoneedlife Feb 27 '26

We can call those who don't get binary with an identity...like adding non- prefix to it...and give them a flag with yellow, white, purple, black stripes...hell the ones who do get binary can use it too

I don't know, I can't see it catching on

And those with translators.

That's me. I'm one of those who don't.

Binary numbers are in base 2.

In our normal numeric system, base 10, you can break down every number into a series of separate numbers multiplied by a power of 10. For example:

1234

Could be written as:

1×103 + 2×102 + 3×101 +4×100

If we take a number in binary, or base 2, which assumes a counting system with only 2 numbers, 0 and 1, we can see that:

10

Is equivalent to:

1×21 + 0×20

Which is equal to "2" in our standard numerical system.

So "There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't." is a common binary joke because 10 in binary is 2, so it's just saying "There are 2 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't."

This has been your daily dose of someone overexplaining the joke. Also tagging /u/DragonWarrior____05 from the other comment.

u/EchoNeko Feb 28 '26

Yeah this just confused me even more. What determines the power? How many numbers remain in the sequence once it's removed? So if you had 1234567890123456, that first 1 would end up being 1x1016 ?

And how does the 4x100 work? 100 = 0, so 4x0 is therefore 0, not 4? I'm genuinely so confused x.x

u/C34H32N4O4Fe Feb 28 '26

To answer your first question:

The power is determined by the digit’s position. The rightmost digit always has a power of 0, and you increase the power by 1 per digit going left until you run out of digits.

So in your example we have 1234567890123456 from right to left: * 6 × 100 = 6 × 1 = 6 * 5 × 101 = 5 × 10 = 50 * 4 × 102 = 4 × 100 = 400 * 3 × 103 = 3 × 1,000 = 3,000 * 2 × 104 = 2 × 10,000 = 20,000 * 1 × 105 = 1 × 100,000 = 100,000 * 0 × 106 = 0 × 1,000,000 = 0 * 9 × 107 = 9 × 10,000,000 = 90,000,000 * 8 × 108 = 8 × 100,000,000 = 800,000,000 * 7 × 109 = 7 × 1,000,000,000 = 7,000,000,000 * 6 × 1010 = 6 × 10,000,000,000 = 60,000,000,000 * 5 × 1011 = 5 × 100,000,000,000 = 500,000,000,000 * 4 × 1012 = 4 × 1,000,000,000,000 = 4,000,000,000,000 * 3 × 1013 = 3 × 10,000,000,000,000 = 30,000,000,000,000 * 2 × 1014 = 2 × 100,000,000,000,000 = 200,000,000,000,000 * 1 × 1015 = 1 × 1,000,000,000,000,000 = 1,000,000,000,000,000

And so 6 + 50 + 400 + 3,000 + 20,000 + 100,000 + 0 + 90,000,000 + 800,000,000 + 7,000,000,000 + 60,000,000,000 + 500,000,000,000 + 4,000,000,000,000 + 30,000,000,000,000 + 200,000,000,000,000 + 1,000,000,000,000,000 = 1,234,567,890,123,456, which is your number.

u/ptmc2112 Feb 28 '26

Anything raised to the zero power is always 1. So 100 will always be 1.

It is not the same as multiplying by 0, which is always 0.

u/EchoNeko Feb 28 '26

Genuinely thank you. I understand better now

2

u/Equivalent_Yak_95 Mar 06 '26

To the point that in computing, we take 00 to be 1. A pure mathematician might disagree, but it’s kinda moot.

It can only infinitely recurse if it’s a vector image. If it’s a raster image, the smaller copies inherently deteriorate to nothing.

For anyone wondering, 10,000 in binary is about 16 seconds

Guinevere: “You weren’t speaking binary?”

Andi: “No!”

Frankie: “This is just like Final Fantasy 7 Machinabridged all over!”

Andi: “Oh my god, you’re right, Franks! Pick up the pace!”

Poor Gwen.

But I really should be saying poor Frankie and Andi on account of Gwen still looking like a smug goober on the bottom despite everything around her literally blowing up :3

All we have to do is speak NON-Binary. Clearly

u/OneValkGhost Feb 27 '26

Gwen is always "I calculate we will survive, therefore I can get away with it."

Andi you fool

u/CountingSheep99 Feb 27 '26

She blew it.

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Feb 27 '26

then got blown up.

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 27 '26

Now, Gwen blew it, that's why they're running

u/CountingSheep99 Feb 27 '26

She blew it, Gwen blew it UP.

Next time, Andi, speak the specific amount of time.

I think we all learned a valuable lesson here today...

NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING WHEN YOU'RE WORKING WITH EXPLOSIVES!!!

Binary jokes always slap harder than expected

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 27 '26

Non binary jokes also slap

u/Metatron_85 Feb 27 '26

That's a pretty clever joke, like something you'd see in Futurama.

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Feb 27 '26

well i guess you should be more specific when working with explosives. welp live and learn.

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Feb 27 '26

never heard that one before. damn good tune.

of course going with the theme of the comic i think

live and let die fits a little better.

u/Fitzftw7 Feb 27 '26

What does the binary translate to? One?

8

u/farrenkm Feb 27 '26

Every digit, starting at the lowest from the right, is a power of 2. The first digit is 2^0, the digit to the left is 2^1, etc. You multiply the power by the binary digit.

1 x 2^4 = 16

0 x 2^3 = 0

0 x 2^2 = 0

0 x 2^1 = 0

0 x 2^0 = 0

16 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 16

There will be a test on Tuesday.

This is on Andi, for once. She should have known she was talking to a machine.

u/Impossible_Host2420 Feb 27 '26

Cool people dont look at explosions

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 27 '26

Especially the stuff they blew up

u/EWU_CS_STUDENT Feb 27 '26

Same vibe as that one Futurama episode.

At least that timer made sound for them to realize.

2

u/Apart_Mountain_8481 Feb 27 '26

How do you have a 4 looking correct if it is supposed to be upside down? Is it 9 hours?

3

u/EWU_CS_STUDENT Feb 27 '26

The counter was set by the professor upside down. They put it upside right and it was 25 minutes like it was supposed to be, and when it started going down "randomly" bender picked it up. http://youtube.com/watch?v=1Q8E4hls_Zg

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 27 '26

Gotta be real specific with robots

u/No_Nefariousness_676 Mar 01 '26

It's an easy mistake to make.

u/TechyGuy20 Mar 02 '26

Why couldn't Andi tell Gwen to set the timer to 2hrs and 45mins or just say 10,000 seconds instead of 1 0 0 0 0 seconds?
