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.
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…
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
“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!
It looks like the way to ask for 2 beers would be quite offensive.
In the UK, a reversed V sign is the equivalent of “the finger”, so this is already plenty offensive to me

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!
That is actually 5, in Latin.
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.
It almost works better without the quote
Perhaps the bartender is offended since the programmer is giving them the V sign?
He should be sticking out his thumb and index finger. With the index and middle finger up he’s showing 6.
Could just be European finger counting
Then wouldn’t the thumb be out?
Maybe it is. I’ve seen some pretty lazy thumb use for that purpose in France at least. It looks a little indeterminate to me. 🤷
