or he said “ten” (10) “one” (1) “zero” (0) “why are you still here” (because the guy is confused)
Why would you convert to decimal naming conventions when using a binary numbering system? Or do you think numeric values like 42(dec) have inherent names? That’s as silly as thinking that the freezing point of water is 0 degrees or, even worse, 32 degrees.

I’m trying to show that the joke only works as a written premise, and falls apart immediately as a spoken premise as was presented initially.
