One is about "Or" statements and the other is about "And" statements.

All three logisticians needs to be "true/yes" and the first one didn't know about the two others so the logistician says "I don't know". If he didn't wanted dessert, he would have said "no".

Same thing for the second logistician.

The last logistician was able to say "yes, we would." because none of the other logistician said "no". Therefore, they all wanted dessert.



Still not a variant of the former joke. The latter is about the meaning of "or" in a logic or coding context vs its meaning in human languages.
