Both work because the scale is 1-10. Binary just has fewer intermediate steps. Nobody is a binary 7.

The joke is binary 10 is 2. Vs base 10 of 10
-
I think they're saying that on a binary 1 to 10 scale, the range is only (decimal) 2, so a 10/10 for binary is a 2/2 in decimal (where you can only be a 1/2 or 2/2), which is still the highest value.

Considering the artist I think the joke was 2/10 vs 10/10.
This isn't XKCD. Still to each their own.I forwarded this to some network engineer friends and they got a kick out of it.

Oh, definitely. The intended joke is out of 10 in decimal.

Thanks for the explanation! I've only been doing digital logic since 1976 so I'm still a bit confused by it.

No worries. I have a networking background so I'll never forget binary.
0 = 000
1 = 001
2 = 010
3 = 011 4 = 100So 100 / 25 = 100 (4 in binary)
-
Here's another neat one: 1010 / 101 = 10

I like that one or 1012=ERROR

That's clear. I thought this joke didn't quite work because of the same reason, too.
