Professor's Shirt Trolls Class: Extrapolate From Incomplete Data

Description

A two-part meme: the top is white text on a white background reading 'so two of my classmates just asked our professor if his shirt is missing a 2nd part.' Below is a photo of a bearded professor wearing a navy t-shirt with white text that says 'There are two types of people in this world:' followed by '1) Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data' - with no second item listed. The joke is self-demonstrating: the shirt deliberately omits the second type, testing whether the reader can extrapolate, and the classmates who asked about the 'missing' part failed the test. A classic statistics/data-science gag beloved in technical and academic circles

The shirt already has full branch coverage; the classmates just executed case two.

  X is four "|"s joined together. Y is ... forget it! We should be self-confident enough to pick any symbols to represent digits in our shiny-new base-6 numeral system: Z123XY is just fine! 😎

There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand ternary, those who don't, and those who mistake it for binary.
