When does 1+1=3?

[volospian]

When talking about binary bytes with the first 1 = 1 and the 2nd 1 = 2? thus byte 2 + byte 1 = 3?

Nah, if you're working in binary, 1 + 1 = 10

Use coloured gels, hold them so they overlap and :

1gel+1gel=3colours

Easy

When you can't count.

1.255 + 1.255 = 2.51.

2.51 rounded to the nearest non-integer = 3
