A Mathematical Guide to Clovers
A field guide to clovers with math puns: six leaves for a perfect number, dice-dotted leaves for uniform distribution, a golden-ratio clover, a bell-curve 'normal' clover, and zero and empty-set clovers.

[Title] "A Mathematical Guide to Clovers"
3 leaves: Ordinary Luck · 4 leaves: Good Luck · 5 leaves: Even Better Luck · 6 leaves: Perfect Luck (especially if you're tiling a plane) · 5 dotted leaves: Uniformly Distributed Luck · 1.618 leaves: Golden Luck (61.803% of a leaf) · bell-curve leaf: Normal Luck · ring-shaped leaf (0): No Luck (because unlucky) · ∅-shaped leaf: No Luck (because no "luck" exists in a deterministic universe)
