Whilst checking on school closures on the Radio Leeds site I came across this. I found it interesting and thought others might have missed it too -it's well worth a lookhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/local/leeds/hi/front_page/newsid_8401000/8401865.stm
there are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand ternary, those that don't and those that think this a joke about the binary system.
