OK. Two and two are four. Four and four are eight. Eight and eight are sixteen. ...
Thanks. The imperfect end to an otherwise glaringly imperfect and ridiculously horrendous day. I’m not even going to ask if anything else can go wrong because I know it can.
I quit.
Back from South Carolina wildlife. It was very nice.
Done right, you can do this kind of math on your fingers.
Like a kid counting on his fingers, and getting up to ten, but let's scale it up a bit, or down to two bits, and have each finger represent a doubling of the one before it.
In this way, you can count up to thirty-one on the fingers of one hand, and up to one thousand and twenty-three if you use both hands.
Just keep in mind there are 10 kinds of people; those who know what I'm talking about, and those who don't.
