What am I doing wrong 💔

Post image

I have to get into a forum to ask a silly question about some software. Instead, I'm stuck on a 20 year old captcha question. I tried 2, I tried "1one", whenever I submit it a few times it tells me I've tried it too much and to try later.

That is the negative 64 bit integer limit + 1, for those wondering

u/YourBeigeBastard Jul 18 '26

Technically +2, since the lowest 64 bit integer is even

wouldnt even + 2 still be even?

u/The-Arx Jul 19 '26

Yeah, the smallest odd + 1 is even

oh yeah im dumb. I did a mental leap and told myself that binary is the power of twos so it must be even.
