And ternary for 3. And base 4 for 4. And so on. That’s just an artifact of the place value system, not some special link between 10 and 2.
It shouldn’t be at all surprising that you introduce binary and get something related to the number 2, or hexadecimal and get the number 16…
It shouldn't be... Yet it's a surprised pikachu face for many. Lol
Next time someone says they're non-binary, I should ask them which positional numeral system they prefer.
Basically asking them “how many, if not two?” Another question they hate to answer!
