I follow the owner has rwx and the group has rwx but the World has rwt. I'm not sure what t is but I will find out.

It's the sticky bit - means only the file owner can delete any files in the
directory - it's set using chmod 1777 /tmp

That is all I could learn with man chmod and it didn't define what a sticky bit is :-)
