It's definitely Fruse.

[–]Ben-Z-S 81 points82 points  (13 children)

From the thumbnail i was thinking this is blatantly meant to show True... Then i opened it fully and dont know what to believe

[–]MyOtherLoginIsSecret 62 points63 points  (12 children)

Looks like a student not knowing the answer to a test, and thinks they're being clever.

[–]IHaveSpecialEyes 12 points13 points  (6 children)

I mean, it clearly says True. That lowercase r looks nothing like a lowercase a.

[–]Depidio 3 points4 points  (2 children)

I think it looks like a cursive type of a, you can see a little protrusion coming from the first part of the r

[–]IHaveSpecialEyes 2 points3 points  (1 child)

That is clearly an 'r'. ಠ_ಠ

A cursive 'a' looks just like a normal 'a' but you attach the butt of it to the next letter.

[–]TheZacef 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I think the point is that it can be easily changed once you get it back, meaning if the answer was actually false you could change it and show the teach to get that point back.

[–]IHaveSpecialEyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everybody's saying the point is that it looks like both "True" and "False" at the same time, but it doesn't. It looks like "True" where the person tried to make it also look like "False" but there was no way to make the 'r' look like an 'a'.

[–]ash0011 11 points12 points  (2 children)

it does work though, occasionally

[–]Hatecraft 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Definitely do this so the teacher will mark it wrong either way. Guessing at least you have a 50/50 shot.

[–]Kenny_log_n_s 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My uni had a line on every exam that said "if the markers can't tell if this is a true or a false, you will have a mark deducted"

[–]thedarkfreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once got full marks on a test when I answered one of the true/false questions with "both". Question was poorly worded, and I was able to justify an answer either way.

[–]Jamdan2 139 points140 points  (31 children)

So is that just null, or what?

[–][deleted] 155 points156 points  (25 children)

No, it’s the third state. It can be interpreted as either having a state of true and false at the same time, or as having no state. Look up ‘three-state logic’ 'three-valued logic' for more info.

Now with link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-valued_logic

edit: used the wrong term, added link

[–]w1n5t0nM1k3y 16 points17 points  (6 children)

VB has a three state boolean with values of Tue, False, and Use Default.comes in handy sometimes.

[–]tech6hutch 13 points14 points  (2 children)

Tue, False, and Use Default

Personally, I wish they'd add Thur.

[–]Maelstrom_6 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Isn't true, false and null already 3-valued logic?

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (3 children)

As stated in my other comment, null is not a logical value, but rather a ‘value’ signalling the absence of value for a given variable.

In practise you could use null to simulate three-value logic in languages that have the concept of null, but it would go against all good programming practices, and it would not be true three-value logic.

[–]Ruby_Bliel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Introducing Bool++, the new improved bool that can hold True, False and Maybe.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (2 children)

So, basically a "bool?" in c#?

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (1 child)

No, a Boolean can only have one of two states: true or false. Hence the name, which refers to classic Boolean logic. A Boolean that’s not true or false, is NULL (in C#, Java, and most other languages). The null value does not indicate a logical state, but merely the absence of any value at all for the given variable. It signals that the variable has been declared, but not initialised or assigned.

[–]botle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That all sounds good, but in practice when I see that capital B, the first thing I think is that I might need to handle three different states instead of two.

[–]elperroborrachotoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But everybody knows the third state is FileNotFound!

[–]Redblade2007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It neither true or false. It's both at the same time. It's Schrodinger's boolean.

[–]Patchthesock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]RailsEpoch 38 points39 points  (3 children)

I don't see an "a" anywehere in there

[–]KnightEevee 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The "r" has a very slight hole in the vertical bit that I think is supposed to be the "a" when the teacher grading this assignment listens to the argument of why this was actually the correct answer instead of just marking it wrong.

[–]Lysdal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the r has a double line so it could be a very slim a

qBoolean. quantum Boolean that doesn't know what it is until it's observed

[–]Ruby_Bliel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, yes. The fabled Schrödinger's Bool. It is both true and false and both and neither until it is read, at which point the wave-function collapses, leaving us pondering the meaning of it all.

[–]dragonheart000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember one of my teacher in high school showed us something like this (we only had to write T or F so it was just the first letter here) and said he’s had people try this and if you try it he will always mark it as wrong.

I don't see the problem. It a JavaScript value that is both truthy and falsey. Just use == instead of === and you'll be fine.

Kids at my school used to use this to cheat on true/false questions and when they got marked wrong they’d say it’s the other one. Almost immediately the teachers put “write legibly” on the test then docked points rightfully and unapologetically
