>Question: What is the sum of all numbers? >Answer: -1 Looks like the universe uses 2's complement after all

  At the risk of ruining a joke, the sum of all numbers representable by a signed n-bit integer using 2's complement is -2^(n-1). -2^(n-1) is the only negative number that does not have a positive counterpart in this representation.

    So the universe is 1-bit, two's complement?
