For the uninitiated, the joke is:

Each number should has a maximum value of 255.The fact that I have a test in school today, and this is probable questiom in it, and this post reminded me of it, thanks I guess?
EDIT: wait, so each number should be maximum of 255? Why did I think it was just the last numbe :|
anyway thanks again for the unsolicited coincidental heads up
I'm still angry even 15 years later after a teacher lowered my grade just because I checked "USB" as capable technologies for video transmission. There are literally USB monitors.
Granted, back then it really wasn't popular and bandwidth was shit, but it was capable of it.
USB to VGA dongles were definitely a thing over 15 years ago. USB 2.0 could manage it fineish. Maybe not at high resolutions and refresh rates, but it could handle a monitor just fine.
Each number between the dots is made up of 8 bits, so each one is a maximum of 255.
Update, they didn't ask that questiom. For the exam XD
Hope it went well!
It did, I mean it was a computer science test which was easy (I help the computer teachers to solve stuff in school lol)
