**Apart from that comic where he mentions that he wishes to call all Euler diagrams for Venn diagrams he has also made the "mistake" two time before:
 
***[[1180: Virus Venn Diagram]]
 
***[[2090: Feathered Dinosaur Venn Diagram]]
 
***All three are now included in both categories, as Venn diagrams are mentioned even though they are not drawn!
 
 
**A Venn diagram shows all possible combinations of two or more sets, including those with no elements, and therefore all of the circles must intersect.

**An Euler diagram need only depict the non-empty combinations, and therefore does not have this constraint.

***All Venn diagrams are also Euler diagrams, but not the other way around!
***Thus this category is a sub category of Euler diagrams.
 
***Only the three mistake comics should be included directly in both categories.

**In general for an n component Venn diagram there are 2<sup>n</sup> hypothetically possible zones, corresponding to some combination of inclusion or exclusion in each of the component sets.

**A Venn diagram with 2 circles, see [[668: Pandora]], has 2<sup>2</sup> = 4 zones; one overlap zone, two zones without overlap and one outside zone.

**[[2122: Size Venn Diagram]] is the first comic to include five components, previously only Venn diagrams with two or three circles have been used in xkcd. It thus has 2<sup>5</sup> = 32 zones.
