-The answer is '2'. 1 bit gives us 2 distinct states (which is why binary is used on the computer-- on/off, true/false, 1/0). This is akin to a single manual lightswitch on the wall... it can be set to give light, or turn on the dark.

 However, having many bits together representing a value can be problematic for us, because if we make a typo, the whole value can be thrown off (and with computers being such precise instruments, will cause them problems).
