Why 1+1 =2 on the 20 greatest equation list?

[John Creighto]

As a computer science minor I personally believe that 1 + 1 = 0

As a CS major I thought you'd say 1+1=11

Oh, sorry to be picky but that's 1+1=10.

As in the good old,

“There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who can read binary, and those who can't.”​

right and 10 + 10 = 100, but if you only had two bytes 10 + 10 = 00, just like if you only had one bit 1 + 1 = 0.

I was assuming one bit.
