If 1+1 didn't equal 2

1 + 1 = 10 in binary.
What now?
You should probably be playing CC2LP1.
Or go to the Chip's Challenge Wiki.

1 + 1 = 3 for reasonably large values of 1.

Quote:1 + 1 = 10 in binary. To clarify... (The subscript denotes the base scale. <sub>2</sub> is binary, <sub>10</sub> is decimal. The number 11 <sub>2</sub> represents: 2 + 1 1 1 2 + 1 which is 3 <sub>10</sub> . To get 11<sub>10</sub> you need 1011 <sub>2</sub> . 1011 <sub>2</sub> represents 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 1 0 1 1 8 + 0 + 2 + 1 . which is 11 <sub>10</sub> . But to respond directly, 10 <sub>2</sub> is 2 + 1 1 0 2 + 0 = 2 TL;DR = 1 and 1 is both 2, 11 and 3. It all depends on what you do with the numbers. Quote:You tested your own land mine. It worked!

1<sub>10</sub> + 1<sub>10</sub> = 11<sub>1</sub><sub></sub>.

Quote:What then? Most probably it would mean our notation for the number 'two' would be different from what it actually is. It wouldn't need a large event in the past for '2' to actually notate something else, like maybe 'seven'.

^I like the philosophical turn this thread is taking.
Oh, and one orange plus one pair of oranges gives you three oranges.
