Yes. (ok, this one's actually a logic joke...)

Ah, logic jokes... Three philosophers walk into a bar, and the bartender asks: "Do you all want a drink?" The first one says "I don't know." The second one says "I don't know." The third one says "Yes!"

Ugh this is why I hated logic problems in school. Anyone care to help a poor soul understand the meaning of this joke?

There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those that understand binary, those that don't, and those who weren't expecting a ternary joke.

Pro tip: if you want to get someone a birthday card, just get them a card that says "10 years old!" on the front. Then use a sharpie to put an asterisk after the "10" and then on the inside of the card put: "* (in base X)", where X is how many years they are turning.
