Ah, binary humor at its finest! The cake has exactly 6 candles arranged in blue-red-blue-blue-red-blue order, which translates to 101100 in binary. And what's 101100 in decimal? Exactly 20! This is peak programmer efficiency—why waste plastic on 20 separate candles when you can represent the same number with just 6? Saving both the environment and showing off your nerd credentials in one delicious chocolate package. The family probably stood around awkwardly while the birthday girl explained the joke to everyone before blowing out her "bits."
