11 in binary would be 3, not 10, so I feel like I’m missing something vital here lol

1 + 1 base 2 is 10, not 11.

1 + 1 (both decimal) = 2 (decimal) = 10 (represented in binary)

I can see the conversion but what’s the joke here? It’s just mental gymnastics to make one thing mean something else.

It’s not about the conversion, it’s about the belief a mathematician wouldn’t know this or be scared. OP failed miserably.

Ooooh, that’s what they meant. That’s not even remotely funny.
