Base Number Jokes Explained 3DPDK: Ask a programmer or apparently a mathematician what 1100 = in binary and he will tell you 12. Ask an electronic tech what 1100 = in binary and he will tell you 3. Why? Because a programmer or mathematician reads numbers from high to low - left to right the same way numbers are written in most languages; ie, $5, 280. 00. Most electronic techs are used to viewing binary counters - a single LED for each bit - increment from left to right, low bit to high bit. A programmer will write out the bits like this; 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 while an electronic tech will put them in a schematic as 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128. The pin-outs on the first binary counter ICs were more conducive to this -backwards- displaying. The 6800 and 6500 series microprocessor actually work with numbers from low bit to high bit, but then flip it around so mathematicians can understand it.

There are 10 types of people in the world
Those who understand binary
Those who don't
Those who thought they were smart solving this joke with base 3
Those who thought they were smart solving this joke with base 4
Those who thought they were smart solving this joke with base 5
Those who thought they were smart solving this joke with base 6
.
And those who didn't think about infinity

at 2: 42: -October was eighth month until Julius Caesar messed with it-, Actually, one of the Caesar's predecessors, King Numa Pompilius messed with it by including two months January & February before the first month of Calendar March (then known as Martius) to include 51 days beyond 31 December which were not in a 10 month calendar that existed before him.

there are 10 kinds of people in the world:
1. The amateurs who only use decimal
2. The binary users, who expected a binary joke, again
3. That one guy who uses ternary for some reason
4. Computer nerds with their hexadecimal
5. Those who think dozenal is the best system
10. The above group after they discover senary

reply

0: 43 If those are three groups that everyone must fall in to one of, wouldn't that mean that everyone who didn't expect this joke to be in base three neither understand binary, nor don't understand binary, and that everyone who either understands, or doesn't understand binary was expecting this joke to be in base three?
reply

October is simultaneously the eighth (in name) and tenth (in position) months and December is the tenth and twelfth month.
The other hidden meaning of the -non-joke- is that non-inclusive of October 31, there are 55 days to the 25th of December and that SANTA=55

those who didn't expect a base 32984392658 joke
and those who were wondering about base 32984392659

Alien: There are 10 rocks.
Human: Oh, you must be using base 12.
Alien: No, I'm using base 10.
The joke is that if you are using base 12, for example, you would still represent 12 as 10.

reply

sometimes I wonder why I bothered learning base 2. do I ever use it? no. if I told one of those jokes I would look like I'm trying to be smart, which I'm not, because I wasted time learning binary.

A chemist and one of his students go into a bar.
The chemist says: I'll take a glass of H2O. Then he drinks it.
The student says: I'll take a glass of H2O, too. Then he drinks it, and dies.
