    I had to double-take since in Python a common alternative to trick ? treat : notreat is (trick and treat) or notreat

    But I don’t think this translates to overlapping circles very well. “trick implies treat” is only defined inside the trick circle, outside is undefined if treat is true or not.

    I’m not going to draw a diagram, but here’s the “truth table” for A implies B:

    A, B, A -> B
    N, N, undefined
    N, Y, undefined
    Y, N, false
    Y, Y, true

      If A is false, A -> B is true regardless of what B is, so the two undefined terms in your truth table should be true.

      So it is fairly easily translated into a shaded Venn Diagram. It’s simply everything shaded aside from Trick only.
