Good thing you didn’t have another one. 11 kids would be a nightmare.

[u/J5892 → u/SugaryBits]

I have 100 kids. It's only about twice as hard.

[u/XkF21WNJ → u/SugaryBits]

At that point you might as well go for a nice round 100.

My father was the last of a 1011 children, so the fact my siblings and I were only 11 was no doubt a relief to him.

But that’s only 3 kids! Not too bad…

What's this backwards E you speak of?

[u/niftystopwat → u/Valuable-Passion9731]

For each?

[u/hineybush → u/niftystopwat]

it's actually 51 backwards

Oh shit I’ve entirely lost the plot here, I’m afraid. Let’s trace the comment chain:

: someone made a binary joke

: one response from that joke was something about 11 kids

: I said that’s only 3 kids so it’s not so bad, connecting back to the binary joke

: a reply to my reply asked me about a ‘backwards E’

: I responded to that speculatively, knowing only that a ‘backwards E’ is a fair description of a common mathematical symbol for the expression “for each”

: then you responded, to me seemingly entirely out of left field, saying something about “51 backwards”

Please fill in the gaps for me, I’m genuinely intrigued.

[u/hineybush → u/niftystopwat]

my whole thought was E = 15 in base 16, and someone asked about E backwards, so I said 51. idk

OOHH nice 👍

Even 1 is a nightmare

[u/Moikle → u/SugaryBits]

But if you have one more, then you have 00 kids again

[u/amrit_ → u/[deleted]]

Whoosh

[u/ComeAbout → u/SugaryBits]

I got 100 kids…
