The puzzler practically writes itself. We distinguish:

1.  boolean isEmpty(String s)           =  String::isEmpty;
2.  Predicate<String> isEmpty           =  String::isEmpty;
3.  Predicate<String> isEmpty(String s) -> String::isEmpty;

1.  Method declaration, using method reference form.
2.  Field declaration,  initialized with a method reference exprssion.
3.  Method declaration, using single expression form.
