fun with statistics

There are three kinds of people: those who can count, and those who can’t.

Steve

Actually, there are two kinds of people: Those who would divide people into groups and those who won’t.

–Oscar Wilde, I think.

Probably only the engineers will get this one:

There are 10 kinds of people: those who understand binary, and those who don’t.

Bob

Why engineers and not mathematicians or software types?

I do get it. It’s just not funny. (Kidding, I have an exam tomorrow, so anything to do with digital computers isn’t funny right now.)

Is this a rule of thumb?

Steve

I think a rule of thumb is when you can only beat your donkey with a branch of a diameter smaller than your thumb.

That’d would be a rule of 10 (2).

Yes, but in my job, almost all engineers are software engineers, so I’m just used to saying engineer.

I never guaranteed it would be funny. :slight_smile:

Bob

I thought this was hilarious:-)
