3 comments:

  1. Cute, but incorrect. "Ten" does not refer to the pattern of symbols 10, but to one more than "nine" regardless of the radix. The first sentence has 1100 instances of the letter A if you represent the count in base 2, but this is still "twelve" (being one more than "eleven" and one less than "thirteen") not "one thousand, one hundred."

    1. On the contrary, you hear "What's one hundred octal?" all the time. The name refers to the name of the symbol sequence, not the underlying number.

  2. Thank you. Binary is not read like decimal.
