Concurrent enrollment FTW 75.60.27.102 03:11, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
I'm a programmer so I'm ok with the explanation, but it seems too technical for non programmers. 108.162.212.196 02:22, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
In response to the programmer at 108.162.212.196: yes, it's probably too technical for non-programmers. But then again, so is the comic. It's a programming (or logic) joke. Unfortunately the level of knowledge required to 'get' some of Randall's humour can't always be reduced down to a simplistic lowest common denominator. 141.101.81.216 06:36, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
