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 + 1 = a window

1+1 in binary mode equals to 0..

Listen, all I know is there are 3 types of people in this world. Those that can count and those that can't.

One piece of string with a knot in it added (tied) to another piece of string with a knot in it = 3 knots

you'rs does seem the most mathematically sound...can't argue!

Still, i ask the question...WHY?!? What do you want to know this for?

1.255 + 1.255 = 2.51.

2.51 rounded to the nearest non-integer = 3
