You know that catchy song "Butterfly" by Crazy Town?
The guitar riff is a Red Hot Chili Peppers sample. Blew your minds with that useless knowledge, didn't I?

Quarks are fermions holding a spin (½) and a baryon number 1/3. The baryon has a half integer spin as well so obviously there’s always going to be an odd number of quarks (or q(a)) and a net 3 quarks and the opposite mesons are bosons with a baryon number 0 (so same q and q(a))
Therefore:
A simplest baryon is three quarks, a simplest meson is anti-quark, quark. (not both act under strong interaction not like leptons.)
You have now learnt about 2 hadrons.


Probably not worthless but not everybody needs to tknow the context.
