There are 10 types of people: Those who understand binary and those who don't.
And those who didn’t expect the joke to be in base 3
You forgot the ones who expected it to be in base 4.
i still dont understand the joke.....
In any Base-x system, one digit goes up to x - 1 (with base > 10 we use alphabet letters), then the next digit (to the left) is incremented.
So in our normal Base-10 system, you count up from 0 to 9 and then add a digit in the front and reset the other digits to get 10.This means, that in every Base-x system '10' equals x.
So you can make the "There 10 types of people ..." with every base as '10' in Base-2 means 2, 3 in Base-3 and so on.
