Before marriage:
She: Bye.
He: Ha! Finally I waited so long for this moment.
She: Do you want me to leave?
He: No, I don't even want to think about it.
She: Do you love me?
He: Of course, a lot!
She: Did you ever date someone else?
He: NO! Why do you ask me that?
She: Do you want to kiss me?
He: Everytime I get the chance.
She: Will you ever slap me?
He: Are you crazy? I'm not like that.
She: Can I trust you?
He: Yes.
She: Honey?
After marriage:
Read it from bottom to top. ^^

Lots of laughter!

Oh man, I really hope my after marriage isn't like that...

After Reading This ...OMG So True...

maximum pointlessness...my brain is melting

Yes, you can read time with this. And no I can't (I will be able to do soon though).

Assuming the upper one to be hours and th lower one to be minutes... the watch shows the time 03:25.

I don't remember how to do binary, lol ^_^

Actually, it looks like some simple arithmetics... not sure why the binary numbers are there, though, if all you have to do is some simple maths...

They show the decimal value of each bit. So all you have to do is adding the values of the glowing bits. 1+2=3; 1+8+16=25

The decimal values correspond to 2^X (X being the position of the bit... starting with first bit being 0 [2^0=1], second bit being 1 [2^1=2], third bit 2 [2^2=4]...)

I always thought a real binary watch would count the milliseconds that have passed since 1970 (and that I somehow imagined is a little bit impractical). But this kind of binary watch is very user friendly.

Isn't binary the use of digits 0's and 1's..? Like a binary code would be...
00100101110101001010101011010101010101010000101011 0111101010010..

Wow, I know how to read that watch now. I really want that watch now. Except with the values under them. So I can look smart:

Friend: Hey what time is it?
Me: 12:42 pm
Friend: Uh dude, wtf kind of watch is that!?!?!?
Me: Nothing much, just a binary watch.
Friend: What!?!? U mean 1's and 0's right?
Me: Yup
Friend: U mean the language the computers basically talk/communicate in???
Me: That's right.
Friend: Dude you can read that!?!?!?
Me: Well yeah, it's pretty easy once you get used to it.
Friend: *looks at me like im super smart or something*

XD

Yes, as oppose to decimal that goes from 0 to 9. As you can see, binary is a base-2 numerical system. I'm not good at explaining things but it goes:

Value in binary      Value in decimal
0                                 0
1                                 1
10                                2
11                                3
100                               4

And so on...
As you can see, on the rightmost, it's whatever-the-value-it-is (either 0 or 1) mutiply to 2^0, and as it advances to the left, it would go 0-or-1 mutiply to 2^1, then 0-or-1 mutiply to 2^2, and so on.

Haha, crappy explanation but I already said I'm not good with that.

Naw bro/sis ? Lol. It works. I just wanted to make sure, because looking at the stuff above, it didn't seem like the stuff on that watch were binary numbers, so I'm kinda wondering why it's called a Binary Watch

Thanks for the effort and information though,

Actually, there are indeed binary numbers on that watch. If you look around inside the circle, you will find numbers 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110 and so on. It's pretty much a bummer, though, since there's no hand clock...

Okay, from my understanding from your explanation:

1011001
= (1 * 2^0) + (0 * 2^1) + (1 * 2^2) + (1 * 2^3) + (0 * 2^4) + (0 * 2^5) + (1 * 2^6)
= 1 + 0 + 4 + 8 + 0 + 0 + 64
= 77

Am I right?

Edit: Crap it's right to left. I missed that part in your explanation.


1011001
= (1 * 2^6) + (0 * 2^5) + (1 * 2^4) + (1 * 2^3) + (0 * 2^2) + (0 * 2^1) + (1 * 2^0)
= 64 + 0 + 16 + 8 + 0 + 0 + 1
= 89

I think thats right.

If the above is true, then the watch is a binary watch. The first row of lights is the binary number for the hour. The second row of lights is the binary number for minutes. And the indication of whether each light represents a 0 or 1 is whether it's lit up or not. Where if it's lit up = 1 and if it isn't lit up = 0.

I learned this at school. But I learned to decode quite different. NO! Don't ask me to show you how I do it! It's my last day of vacation and I don't wanna spoil my perfect morning right now. ^^

You are absolutely correct. But as you can see in the watch, there's no need to understand binary to know what the time is in that watch, it's simple arithmetic, but you know why it's these numbers.

The way I try to make sense of it is that, take a number 100 for example:
-In decimal, where the base is 10, it's 10 * 10, which is 10^2, which equals to 100.
-In binary, where the base is 2, it's 2 * 2, which is 2^2, which equals to 4.

Aww, my vacation already ended 5 days ago. Allow me to ask how you decode it.

Haha, since I keep getting off-topic, I'm going to make a joke... I guess
Since we are at binary numbers...

Spoiler for PC vs Mac:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's another one of your popular PC vs Mac controversy again!

But today, PC and Mac themselves will end our argument one and for all!

*The audience starts to listen intently*

PC: 00010100101010100110010011010101001010101010101010 1011111
Mac: 01111111111111111111000000010101001010100000001011 110101
*The audience gets dizzy*
PC: 01010100100101010110101011101111111111111000000000 0000000
Mac: 11101000001111100000000000000111001010010101010101 011000

And then....

*Fatality scatters across the audience as smoke coming through their head, some received permanent mental disable, ailments retain to psychological process of all types, heart attack, lung cancers, chronic diseases, etc. Screams of pain and shriek of madness echo across the hall. Agony sweeps through the audience as they struggle for survival. Some people sit shaking in their seat, afraid of the oncoming causality and catastrophe. Other brave people, our brave people, our brave savior-to-be, fought back by throwing banana onto the stage. All that were left are permanent scars that could be felt throughout the centuries.

And then, the people of the future remember this day, of agony, of pain, of sadness and suffering, never again try to compare our [nearly] ultimate destruction--PC and Mac*

The end...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Btw, don't bother trying to decode what PC and Mac say, they are pretty much numbers I type randomly. =/

The joke is pretty lame but hey, I tried my best.

Something that just popped up in my head.

Q: How do you call a Strike Gundam, equipped with Nuclear engine?

A: Nuclear Strike.

A blonde, an American, and Russian are talking in a discussion.

The Russian exclaims, "We are the first people to go around the EARTH!!"

The American responds, "Oh yeah? Well, we are the first people on the MOON!"

Then the blonde replies, "Oh yeah? Well we are going to be the first people on the SUN!!"

The American and Russian look at each other for a moment, and then says, "You can't go on the SUN, you'll burn alive!!"

Then the blonde replies, "Oh we aren't Stupid, we're going at night!"
..
Sorry if I offended any blondes, it's just a stereotype of American blondes .

P.S. Am I allowed to post this kind of stuff? Lol.. Let me know if it's too stereotypical or something, and I'll stop

Hmmm... I don't get the joke... Does it correspond blonde hair color with the sun?
