Same. It actually took me a second to get the joke, then I realized I was the joke

Kids under aye-aye

it’s just an error in font, I took a minute to find the real meaning of this ad 😬
Show threadessellMar 4
Me too. I was looking around for the funny. It was me.

I was initially like, “really, under 2? Cheapass county can’t even cover kids under 10?”

My foolishness knows no bounds

Isn’t that Greek?
Show threadVicksVaporBBQrubMar 5
Guilty. I used the sum symbol for a fancy “E” riffling through my phone keyboards. I know there is a better ascii character.
Show threadrwrwefwefMar 5
It’s not an E; it’s a Sigma standing in for summation.
Show threadVicksVaporBBQrubMar 9
I fixed it. Thanks!
Show threadCryptoKittenMar 4
Same here!

Kids under the tracks travel free.

But not far.

At first I tough that that was a big ass kid for being under 2yo.
Show threadsudoMakeUserMar 4
Kids under 2’ is a whole different type of measurement

I think in order to see a major unified system font, we are going to need two huge corporations battle each other in court.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT

In print, yes, in hand written maths I don’t mind the line
Show threadSpaceNoodleMar 4
Until there’s a lowercase L, or you’re taking the absolute value of something …
Show threadtoynbeeMar 5
I don’t really handwrite anything these days, but my brother always taught me to put a little upturned curve at the bottom of letters to differentiate them from similar-looking numbers.

5 10 111 1

Huh?

Show threadtheolodisMar 4
5 10 101 1010

I think I solved it

Show threadjayboneMar 5

I think it’s

8 11

Which is in Roman numerals

VIII XI

But also works in arabic numerals

5 10 3 1 ———— 8 11

Checkmate god and baby Jesus.

That kid is clearly not under 2 though. Should all kids ride free

Show threadRampantParanoia2365Mar 5
Of course that’s accurate for kids under eleven.

Let’s Do London… hmm…
Show threaddownvote_hunterMar 4
Kids or ?
Show threadnonentityMar 4

It’s an homophonic alliteration in binary.

Kids under three ride free.

Show threadhuquadMar 5
Clearly they mean under 3
Show threadredbeardgeckoMar 5
So did one to be honest
Show threadChick0nPlayzMar 5
I’d prefer London do me
Show threadRampantParanoia2365Mar 5
No, but seriously. What the fuck?
Show threadAItoothbrushMar 5
Took me a good while to read it as 11 so it is pretty confusing tbf
Show threadEcho DotMar 5
Yep I couldn’t understand why they chose to use Roman notation. To be honest though 11 is a weird age cut off to have picked.
Show threadChrobinMar 5
They probably decided on 10 or below, but it didn’t sound as catchy in the marketing
Show threadtetris11Mar 5
people kept thinking it was binary for 2 during audience testing
Show threadEcho DotMar 5
Binary for three. Two would be 1 0 which would then get confused with 10 which would actually take us full circle.
Show threadtetris11Mar 5
That’s why the changed it from 10 to 11 during testing, because people kept thinking it meant 2
Show threadsircacMar 5
Font matters

Ⅱ
Show threadcaptcha_incorrectMar 5

Ⅱ <> I i L l

Had to copy the character and paste i elsewhere to see that it was not two letters.

Show threadswiftywizardMar 5
I really do not understand, now is that supposed to mean II or XI?
