Minute cryptic

The binary thing is what I don’t understand. Sure I’ll feel stupid once I’ve sat and looked after the kids are asleep

I got it but didn't understand it. Don't like being expected to do a science.

This genuinely looks like a wind-up to me. Like Adam and Joe’s Quizzlestick

Three under today.

It's a tricksy one.

As for yesterday's mathematics:

In decimal each digit represents an amount of increasing powers of ten - units, tens, hundreds, thousands etc.

In binary, each digit represents an amount of increasing powers of two - units, twos, fours, eights, sixteens etc.

(Note, for those that may not know this mathematical fact - any number to the power zero is equal to one. That is why both decimal and binary have units in their first column, without breaking the pattern.

It even continues to work for the digits to the right of the decimal point, with negative powers of ten resulting in tenths, hundredths, etc)

1 under today. Tricky.

Even, I took two letters as I'm :
a) thick
b) in a rush
c) all of the above

A Phew Under. I'd been struggling with these lately but today's seemed easy to me.

Happy New Year.

3 under after a short detour connecting the second word with the wrong one of its neighbours.

3 under this morning.

Got it! Here’s a revised cryptic clue:

“Joyful greeting hiding score two under par (5,3,4,3,5)”

Answer: Happy New Year, Two Under
Explanation: The surface refers to a joyful greeting, and “hiding score two under par” points cryptically to the phrase itself.
