minus-squarezitrone 🍋@europe.publinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 days ago2 makes sense assuming “age” means years since birth and “numbers” means digits, op would be younger than 8
minus-squaregreyhathero@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 day agoI mean it would have to be at least base 4 given the text.
minus-squarezitrone 🍋@europe.publinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 days ago1000₂ = 8₁₀ has 4 digits in base 2 111₂ = 7₁₀ has 3 digits in base 2
minus-squarecharokol@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 day agoOof. When I first read this posts my mind was somehow reading “base 2” as “base 10” and I just couldn’t wrap my mind around what I was seeing. Sleep has made everything make sense
minus-squarezitrone 🍋@europe.publinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 day agoi mean base 10 is base 2 if you write the base as base 2
minus-squarecharokol@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 day agoLet’s just say that’s what I was thinking
minus-squareM137@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·edit-22 days agoI read it as days, so 2.73 years. Or months, 83.33 years. That thing where some mothers say “oh he/she’s X days/months old” for kids that are way beyond where that’s relevant.
minus-squareNewDark@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 days agoOh interesting take. The unit is different but still base 10. That would certainly be the more normal way to think about it…
Say what base right now
2 makes sense

Why not 9?
1000₂ = 8₁₀ has 4 digits in base 2
111₂ = 7₁₀ has 3 digits in base 2
