    2 makes sense

    assuming "age" means years since birth and "numbers" means digits, op would be younger than 8

    1000₂ = 8₁₀ has 4 digits in base 2
    111₂ = 7₁₀ has 3 digits in base 2

    Oof. When I first read this posts my mind was somehow reading “base 2” as “base 10” and I just couldn’t wrap my mind around what I was seeing. Sleep has made everything make sense

    I read it as days, so 2.73 years. Or months, 83.33 years.

    That thing where some mothers say "oh he/she's X days/months old" for kids that are way beyond where that's relevant.
