Using only 2 binary digits:

0: 00

1: 01

2: 10

3: 11

So I'm a 2/3, but also including 0 thats like 75% attractive. That's a win in my book

If you are using only binary, then you are 10/11.

2/3? why? that's strangely arbitrary...

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I did that because in coding, you start counting at zero, so 00=0, 01=1, 10=2, and 11=3. Therefore, if I'm a 10 out of 11, then I'd be a 2 out of 3. However, there are 4 options total, so saying 3/4, or 75% is more accurate.

Still better than 10 / 99

Nah, it's 10/10 , you don't count from 0 to 99, you do from 0 to 10, so that still 100% in binary
