@mallaidh if you use IBM 80 column punch cards in binary mode you can squeeze 860 bits onto one of them

So you could do it in 103

@troubleMoney @mallaidh Oh, right, they weren't 8 bits, they were 12. (Deleted my incorrect toot. Although at 12 * 80 bits, isn't it 960 bits, and therefore 92 cards for 11,006 bytes? Or is there some sort of state coding that I'm not aware of?)

@bhtooefr @mallaidh That bit was me making a typo when working it out, you're right, it would be 92 cards total

We were both wrong!
