I only missed 9, 12, 17
Being in the IT field, I use Binary (base 2) and Hexadecimal (base 16), a lot. So understanding Octodecimal is base 8 comes easy.
In Octo, there is no 8 or 9, 8 (decimal) is 10 (octo), and 9 (decimal) is 11 (octo). The numbering goes 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 10 11 12 13 14 15 20...
Cary it upwards, and 31 in octo is 25 in decimal numbering.
Huh. I thought only binary was used
I use #8 a lot, but my humor is seldom appreciated.
I don't get #12. Oct = 8, Dec =10, but 8+31= 39 and 10 + 25 = 35. There must be something I'm missing.
I Googled. The joke's about the octal numbering system.

A brain?
Just kidding that was the one I did not grok as well.

Buddhism is about being one with everything
Octal numbering 31 = Decimal numbering 25
trying to explain Sartre will aggravate my headache.
Nope, we use both. In fact, if you want you can use Hex or Decimal in most IP addresses.
255 = 11111111 = FF
In IP4, we generally use Decimal because it is easier to describe. But in IP6, it is in Hexadecimal.
Should I admit I got all of them but 4?
It took me a minute to get #3 and #4. I still don't get #11

17. A Buddhist monk approaches a hot dog stand and says "make me one with everything". The hot dog vendor says, "That'll be $5.75" and hands the Buddhist monk the hot dog.
The monk gives the vendor a $10 bill. The vendor says "Thanks, have a nice day."
Surprised the monk says, "Hey, where's my change."
The vendor looks at the monk and smiles, "Change comes from within."
