What can't I say in 1 bit

While there are infinitely many things which can be expressed in a single bit, there are also some things which cannot be expressed in one bit. If you wish to discuss one of the following, you may need to use a tool other than b1tt0r:

  • the price of a shave and a haircut (2 bits)
  • the dimensions of Noah's ark (300 cubits by 50 cubits by 30 cubits)
  • the sound a frog makes (ribbit)
