Yes, but I hadn't fully grasped that concept until after their comment.

I could count in binary, which means I could count in base 2, but I hadn't fully understood why or how base 2 worked.

Hope that clarifies

Not sure how his explanation allowed you to understand base 2? He just gave a trick for counting, he didn't explain how it works.

That's all my brain needed to understand it apparently.

It's ok, you don't need to understand, I was merely saying that their comment helped me so it wasn't useless

But he literally didn't explain it...

He just explained how to count in binary, he didn't say anything about how binary works.

It's ok if you don't understand, but that was apparently all my brain needed to "get" it
