all digits can be created by using only one numeral : 8

I found myself down a YouTube rabbit hole once of people one-upping each other by making segmented displays with fewer and fewer segments and seeing who could use the least and still have it be decipherable for all numbers

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Minimum is 4 for ten digits

[–] atocci@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There was a smaller subset that challenged themselves with 3 segment displays for 0-6

Got a link to anything about that? I'd love to check it out but am having trouble finding anything.

[–] atocci@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Here's one I had in my YouTube history
I like the top comment here

at this point it's honestly easier to read a row of leds displaying the number in binary

I found another one but I feel like it's cheating since one of the segments is divided into two parts that light together.

Thanks! They're terrible, but it gets the juices flowing ...

Please give links

[–] Blyfh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It was mentioned in another comment.

Only with a rectangular 8. Doesn’t work for a ‘real’ 8. This solves that issue.

[–] yetAnotherUser@feddit.de 15 points 2 years ago

Except you have to turn the thing on its head for some numbers which I consider a worse tradeoff.

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

watch the video linked in another comment. There are circle based 7 segment displays, if you realy need those curves.

i can see from how you did 'real' that 8, that i don't need to remind you that there are no real 🖐️✌️🖕 :)
