> You briefly wonder how she managed to procure wine from over 2000 years ago before recalling that the wine cellar was built deep inside of a hypothetical scenario.

Lol

Could just label the years 2000 - 2015. It just says "sixteen possible years", not where these years are on the timeline.

  • I originally set it up like that, but felt having to explain that you need to subtract 2000 before doing the binary conversion was unnecessary and kind of distracting

    • You could have them be Cambodian wines, dated according to the Kampuchean revolutionary calendar. That way, you even get a year zero.

    • instead of subtraction, the true reason is that every year was marked by N-gon - and we have no idea which year is represented by each shape
