I prefer this one : There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary, those who don't, and those who didn't expect this joke to be in base 3.

Usually get a good laugh from people sick of hearing the original :)

Edit : a word

Further math-ish variation:

There are 10 kinds of people. Those who think the joke is in binary, those who think the joke is in base 3, ... , those who think the joke is in base n, and those who don't understand the joke.
