Three logicians walk into a bar. The bartender asks, “Do all of you want a beer?”
“I don’t know”
“I don’t know”
“Yes”
These logic problems reminds me of those Ted-ED riddles.
(anyone here watched Ted-ED videos? its not just me being weird right?)
“Would you possibly want a beer out of three?”
“Yes.”
“There are now only two possible beers left. Would you like to change to another beer?”
“YES!”
The old Monty Beerhall problem!
Oh this is a good one
“Are you dislexic?!”
“No I’m just representing the number three in binary.” 😂
So binary is French? That’s legit 3 in French
Technically, the thumb should be out as well. But yeah, that would totally be read as 3. 🥖🫡
Weird, thumb out is 3 in ASL (a french sign derived language), but thumb in that position reads as a really weird 2 to me
That actually makes sense to me — ASL retains the “thumb = 1” system present in most of Europe.
The programmer is using what I’d call an “Anglo” two. It’s what I grew up with in North America.(see the Inglourious Basterds three finger scene for reference)
But he just ordered 6. Rookie mistake.
Looks like 12 to me
… Maybe.
It really depends on, which is the most significant bit… I mean finger.
That’s the German 6!
I’m German and I didn’t know we can count to 720 with our hands…
!Explanation: An exclamation mark marks factorial, and 6 factorial is 720.!<
That is actually 5, in Latin.
Never ask for 2 beers though.
ok sign with middle finger…
my more practical finger binary system would have op show 6 beers. 3 beers would be thumb and forefinger. System is digits forward to enemy have missing fingers be 0, raised 1.
There 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who count in binary, and those who dont
Surprise trinary!
Ternary?
That’s tertiary to you, pal.

…and those who didn’t expect this joke to be in ternary
that's six by my count

good!
Binary on fingers really comes into its own when you need to order 1023 beers over heavy background noise. Except when there’s a mix-up and you end up with -1 beer.
This sounds like xkcd alt text
Jokes on you, I already owed one beer!
It’s easy to order 1 beer and end up with 31.
There’s a beer in Australia called XXXX.
The joke is it’s for those who can’t spell BEER, but it’s also for those who can’t count, because if they could, it’d be XL.
Reminds me of this:
Pretty sure he’s ordering 6 in this image.
he’s ordering 7, I think, if you count the thumb.
I don’t see it… Two fingers and thumb make VI.
I actually forgot about Roman numerals for a second.
From his perspective, he orders 4.
But if he twitches and puts his fingers closer together, he orders 3.
You mean 7 beers.
It looks like the way to ask for 2 beers would be quite offensive.
Endianness matters quite a lot in this situation
In the UK, a reversed V sign is the equivalent of “the finger”, so this is already plenty offensive to me
An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar…
A quantum mechanic walks into a bar.
He also walks out of the bar.
At the same time.
A temporal traveller walks into a bar.
