all digits can be created by using only one numeral : 8
I found myself down a YouTube rabbit hole once of people one-upping each other by making segmented displays with fewer and fewer segments and seeing who could use the least and still have it be decipherable for all numbers
Minimum is 4 for ten digits
There was a smaller subset that challenged themselves with 3 segment displays for 0-6
Got a link to anything about that? I'd love to check it out but am having trouble finding anything.
Here's one I had in my YouTube history
I like the top comment here
I found another one but I feel like it's cheating since one of the segments is divided into two parts that light together.

Thanks! They're terrible, but it gets the juices flowing ...
Please give links
It all started when I watched this video that was linked in the other comment, and then YouTube recommended more of them for days after that.

It was mentioned in another comment.
Only with a rectangular 8. Doesn’t work for a ‘real’ 8. This solves that issue.
Except you have to turn the thing on its head for some numbers which I consider a worse tradeoff.
watch the video linked in another comment. There are circle based 7 segment displays, if you realy need those curves.
i can see from how you did 'real' that 8, that i don't need to remind you that there are no real 🖐️✌️🖕 :)
This. Wake up, people!
