    There are 10 types of people in the world: those who know how binary works, those who don’t, and those who didn’t expect this joke to be in ternary

    My personal top 10 binary numbers are 1000101 and 110100100. 0 and 1 though are my top 10 binary digits.

        Is that why all digital computers use binary?

        This may actually be an example of where a word’s meaning had changed over time. Not sure of the etymology.

        Some random dictionary has “one of the elements that combine to form numbers in a system other than the decimal system” as one of the definitions.

        I spent way too long trying to prove something there…

          I think it’s because they use discrete numbers instead of varying voltages in analog systems. There have been digital computers built that use base 3.

    Bullshit, 1 should have been the top number!
