There are 10 kinds of people...
Those who can count in binary and those who can't.

There are also 3 kinds of people...
Those who can count and those who can't.

My husband has a t-shirt with the "10 types of people" phrase.

Excellent!

I can say butterfly in 3 different languages. Butterfly, papillon (French), and cho (Japanese).

Thank you for the fun puzzle!
Aurelian inspired me to look up butterfly in Hebrew - it's pahrpahr (accent on the second "pahr"). In Italian, it's farfalla; hence, farfalle - butterfly-shaped pasta. Now that I look at them, I think the words in the two languages are probably related, as "p" and "f" are represented by the same letter in Hebrew. No idea who named the fluttering things first.

Now I'm off on a hunt. The Arabic for butterfly is farasha, so also related. The Greek is totally different, however, as is the Turkish. The Latin papilio is the origin for many European words for butterfly, but there may be some even older root involving the letter p/f.

... and here's another collection: 300 (!) words for butterfly: http://insecta.pro/community/8299

I only know a handful of words in Spanish, but one of them is Mariposa -- butterfly.

The Italian is farfalle, as in bowtie noodles (which are really butterfly noodles)

And the German is Schmetterling

00111 of them? I get either 00101 or 01001, depending on whether you count the blue things.

It was the 7th puzzle about collections, starting with 33599. ^_^
