I'm definitely in the 10th group here.
10rd
My personal top 10 binary numbers are 1000101 and 110100100. 0 and 1 though are my top 10 binary digits.
Nice!
"binary digits" is an oxymoron. "Digit" implies decimal counting.
Is that why all digital computers use binary?
This may actually be an example of where a word's meaning had changed over time. Not sure of the etymology.
Some random dictionary has "one of the elements that combine to form numbers in a system other than the decimal system" as one of the definitions.
I spent way too long trying to prove something there...
I think it's because they use discrete numbers instead of varying voltages in analog systems. There have been digital computers built that use base 3.

There are 10 kinds of people in the world. People who understand binary and people who don’t.
Bullshit, 1 should have been the top number!
