10 Types
Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
The wise man Baeques the Geek once said "There are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand and talk to computers, and those who can't."
Yet, those are but two types... or is it not? or is it? How is this possible?

Answer
10 is two in binary (one_zero). Therefore, what he says is true.

| but the person who said do you say "ten" when verbalizing is correct.
10 in binary would be pronounced "two". So if the Geek *said* it to another person it makes no sense. If it was written out it would make sense.
Am I right??  |

| Very neat teaser! I haven't thought in binary for a while so it took a while to figure it out!  |

Those that can count, and those that can't. |

| The only reason that I know that is because I have a friend who 1) Has that shirt. 2) Has to tell everyone what it means. And 3)Because he is the biggest nerd I've known and probably ever will know. |
