Three logicians walk into a bar. The bartender asks, “Do all of you want a beer?”
“I don’t know”
“I don’t know”
“Yes”
“Would you possibly want a beer out of three?”
“Yes.”
“There are now only two possible beers left. Would you like to change to another beer?”
“YES!”
But he just ordered 6. Rookie mistake.
That’s the German 6!
That is actually 5, in Latin.
Perhaps the bartender is offended since the programmer is giving them the V sign?
An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar…
that's six by my count

There 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who count in binary, and those who dont
Surprise trinary!
Ternary?
That’s tertiary to you, pal.
*crying in IPv4 subnet calculations
…and those who didn’t expect this joke to be in ternary
Reminds me of this:

Pretty sure he’s ordering 6 in this image.
From his perspective, he orders 4.
You mean 7 beers.
Binary on fingers really comes into its own when you need to order 1023 beers over heavy background noise. Except when there’s a mix-up and you end up with -1 beer.
This sounds like xkcd alt text
It’s easy to order 1 beer and end up with 31.

It looks like the way to ask for 2 beers would be quite offensive.
Endianness matters quite a lot in this situation
This could have ended up very badly if were only two beers.
Off by one error
Thats what I thought at first
Could just be European finger counting
Then wouldn’t the thumb be out?
He should be sticking out his thumb and index finger. With the index and middle finger up he’s showing 6.
