Would you really call that a "pair of integers"? Especially when it makes the so...

Yes. (1,1) is a pair of integers, and so is (17,17). Why wouldn't they be?

But if you make it a sentence, "my pair of integers is 1 and 1", it sounds a little bit off. Because "pair" for the same concept twice is often an error.

Picking a mathematical formulation like you did can avoid that kind of implication, but there wasn't a template for which formulation to use and the way you wrote that makes it look like order matters which isn't right either.

In binary, you will probably get 1 next to another 1 all the time.

Those are digits, not integers?

And that also sounds like two ordered numbers which is not what the question calls for.
