Here's another neat one: 1010 / 101 = 10

I'm not surprised. StackOverflow has moderated itself out of relevance. Ask a question and get flamed. DDG a question plus "stackoverflow" and get something that may well have been correct and useful in 2012 but tech moves on and it's now archaic trivia, somewhat akin to facts about punched cards. "Help me StackOverflow, you're my only hope" hasn't been true for quite some time now.

Thanks for the explanation! I've only been doing digital logic since 1976 so I'm still a bit confused by it.

There are 10 types of people in the world: those that understand n-ary, those that confuse it with (n-1)-ary, those that confuse it with (n-2)-ary, ..., those that confuse it with ternary, those that confuse it with binary, and those that don't understand it at all.

You're not overthinking it at all and have hit upon an important point. The problem with "ten" is that it's too easily confused with 1010_2 or 0x0A_16. One-zero base 2 is unambiguous. Also one, ten, eleven etc would get very unwieldy very quickly, and as it already gets unwieldy very quickly even when just quoting digits, that's why we have hex and octal.

Both work because the scale is 1-10. Binary just has fewer intermediate steps. Nobody is a binary 7.

The one on the left is on the right, the one in the middle is on the left, the one on the right is in the middle and the one at the rear is a Methodist.

You have to ask it a carefully crafted question, something along the lines of "if I were to go through other door, would I then be outside the house" and if it says yes you have to go through it but if it says no then you have to go through the other one.

First time I saw them I could see immediately it was YouTube trying to be TikTok, so I just blocked them with uBO. Haven't seen one since.
