The Binary Cake

January

Here’s a crappy geek cartoon I made on a napkin while I waited for a meeting…
Binary Cake

If you don’t get it then out of the 10 types of people there are, you are the type that doesn’t understand binary. (double geek groan pun!)

    If someone missed the 10 kinds… here is exact lines which I always have set as note on Office communicator

    “There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who don’t.”

    I go GIG when it comes to cake. Did you know that a “Bundt” cake has a 32 bit circular path?

    Sadly, I’m the only one geek enough to notice this, but there’s only 01 type of person who doesn’t understand binary. i know you’re trying to run with the joke, but…. wait… gahhhhhhh I’ve become a troll…. oy

    Aren’t we forgetting something?

    There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, those who don’t, and those who understand Gray Code.

    27.01.08 1:05 pm

    ah yes, the gray code. it’s simple enough to show this as a gray code generated graph using this gray source:-

    1.)
    2.)
    3.)
    4.)

    .. awesome don’t you think?

    Gray code is useless… I mastered it when I was 7. Pretty sure Win3.1 was written with Gray code, now that I think about it…

    28.01.08 9:20 am

    lol! it’s well known that win3.1 was written in a pseudo gray code interpreter. That was it’s whole problem :-P

    I use the 10 kinds quote on the bottom of my emails too.

    To my surprise, many (many!!!) never seem to understand what 10 here stands for. One or two frankly asked me about it, but there are others who don’t. Is that too high level to fly over the heads!

    Um, there are not 10 types of people who would spot it. There is 01 type of person who would spot it and 01 type of person who wouldn’t. If you all are gonna’ revel in your genius for understanding a little bit about binary numbers, you should at least make sure you preserve the logic of the joke in the first place.

    Why would there be any reprisal? I am correct, after all. Perhaps that makes me a bigger geek. :-)
