questionposter Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Boolean. I guess it's close, I was thinking Binary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

questionposter Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) Except then wouldn't your question be 1 + 1 = 10? That's what I originally thought too, but there's something about the modulus that would make it 11, which would set it back to 1 since it exceeded 10 by 1. 10+1 mod 10 =1? Perhaps I'm thinking of a specific setup, too specific, Edited March 30, 2012 by questionposter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 That's what I originally thought too, but there's something about the modulus that would make it 11, which would set it back to 1 since it exceeded 10 by 1. 10+1 mod 10 =1? Perhaps I'm thinking of a specific setup, too specific, You could do (1+1) mod 2, but that's just 0. 1+1 in binary is, in fact, 10. And yes, (10+1) mod 10 = 1.

Joatmon Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 In speaking you have the option of saying "One plus one is one", instead of "One and one is one". My answer fits either statement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md65536 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) What language can I speak to say that 1+1=1? I had no problem saying it in English. Edit: I should read the other posts before replying. Edited April 13, 2012 by md65536 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamTheSerious Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I think the only case where this would be correct is in logic gates, for instance a OR gate with the inputs 1 and 1 will have output of 1, but if you wanted to answer to be binary then 1 + 1 = 10 or 0 in binary depending on the max bit size that you are allowed to use.
