Trivia
📚 A chad is the fragment of paper created when a hole is made in paper or similar substances for example with a hole punch. A hanging chad is one that hasnt fully been separated (specifically in a way where its only still attached to the paper at a singular corner) and in some systems such as computer punch cards or voting machines it could cause errors.
📚 The dot and line markings along the left edge of the card are binary numbers where a dot represents 0 and a dash represents 1. The four visible numbers are from top to bottom 1 2 4 and 5. The hanging chad presumably obscures the symbols •• or 0011 which is binary for 3.
