How are 6 trits equal to 9.5 bits?

Question

This reddit thread says 6 trits ~ 9.5 bits.

How 6 trits ~ 9.5 bits?

Answer 1

He talks about information capacity. You can store about the same amount of data in 9.5 bits, since you can 6 trits, because 2 ^9.5 (724) is about 3 ⁶ (729).

Answer 2

Since 3 ^ 6 (729) is approximately 2 ^ 9.5 (724).

Answer 9

Trits will be based on their own discrete transistor with three states, not two. Thus, it will (hypothetically) occupy the same space, but will contain much more data.
