I think it’s more meant to be programming humor. 0=1, 1=2, 2=3, etc
It’s a Roman numeral…
Binary 11
There’s a beer in Australia called XXXX.
The joke is it’s for those who can’t spell BEER, but it’s also for those who can’t count, because if they could, it’d be XL.
“Are you dislexic?!”
“No I’m just representing the number three in binary.” 😂
good!
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.!<
So binary is French? That’s legit 3 in French
Technically, the thumb should be out as well. But yeah, that would totally be read as 3. 🥖🫡
Weird, thumb out is 3 in ASL (a french sign derived language), but thumb in that position reads as a really weird 2 to me
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
Could just be European finger counting
Then wouldn’t the thumb be out?
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
“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!
This could have ended up very badly if where only two beers.
Because they would have to fight for the missing beer or because they would have to fight for the remaining two?
That is actually 5, in Latin.
Perhaps the bartender is offended since the programmer is giving them the V sign?
Didn’t realize Tommy Lee Jones was bartending these days
There 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who count in binary, and those who dont
*crying in IPv4 subnet calculations
Surprise trinary!
Ternary?
That’s tertiary to you, pal.
🫦 Tertiary 🫦 https://youtu.be/UpelIgwoUKw?t=246
…and those who didn’t expect this joke to be in ternary
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.
He must work on a big endian machine.
The thumb counts too so it should be 6
