In response to "this reads to me like you read the opposite of what I posted -- nm" by crash davis

"you could never have an argument over what 1/3rd is in binary" ... yes, you can. It doesn't suddenly become rational.

It just repeats with a different pattern.

Responses:

the number 3 doesn't exist in binary, only 1 & 0 -- nm - crash davis Mar 5, 13:17 9
- the number 3 in base 10 is the number 11 in binary -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 13:18 8
  - base10 = dicimal and Hexadicimal is also 3 also 3 in octal system -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 5, 13:21 1
    - ooh, yes, I was forgetting about octal. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 13:26
  - but then the argument would be what 1/11 is not what 1/3 is.... -- nm - crash davis Mar 5, 13:19 4
    - I'm just trying to say, it's the exact same argument. Changing the base only changes the pictographs, not the values. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 13:23 2
      - and I'm just trying to say a real simple joke went right over your head -- nm - crash davis Mar 5, 13:25 1
        
        oh. dang. sorry about that, then. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 13:27
    - there is no decimal pont in binary it soes not excist -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 5, 13:22
  - (and it's 3 in hexadecimal and base-60 as well) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 13:18
