That is actually 5, in Latin.
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!”
The old Monty Beerhall problem!
But he just ordered 6. Rookie mistake.
That’s the German 6!
Perhaps the bartender is offended since the programmer is giving them the V sign?
An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar…
A quantum mechanic walks into a bar.
He also walks out of the bar.
At the same time.
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.
But if he twitches and puts his fingers closer together, he orders 3.
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
Jokes on you, I already owed one beer!
It’s easy to order 1 beer and end up with 31.

🖕beer please
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Sir that is more beers than there are particles in the Universe.
Customer is always right
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.
Because they would have to fight for the missing beer or because they would have to fight for the remaining two?
Off by one error
Thats what I thought at first
He should be sticking out his thumb and index finger. With the index and middle finger up he’s showing 6.
Glad he picked up another friend. Ordering only two was getting him into a lot of trouble.
Huh, why? Only four would be a Problem. Even worse, 132.
In the image he isn’t using his thumb to count, so 2 would be the middle finger.
Why would you count with only 4 fingers when the hand has 5?
I think it’s because in the UK they start counting (regularly) with the index finger, so the regular binary two would look unnatural in context
