A physicist, a biologist, and a mathematician have lunch at a cafe across the street from an apartment. At some point, 2 people walk into the apartment. About 5 minutes later, 3 people walk out. The physicist scratches his head and says, "Experimental error." The biologist says, "They reproduced." The mathematician says, "If one more person enters the apartment, it will be empty."
The King called three of his wise advisers, an engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician and told them to determine how much was 1+1. The engineer pulled out a small book, looked at a table inside that said 1+1=2, added 50% for safety and said 3. The physicist and the mathematician just scratched their heads and left. A week later the physicist returned saying that he has determined that 1+1 is between 1.999999999 and 2.000000001 under the normal conditions of temperature and pressure. A month later the mathematician returns, full beard, deep eyes, smelly clothes and said I still don't know how much it is, but I've proven that the solution exists and it is unique!
Today I am administering the state Algebra test. Can I throw a temper tangent? ("Cause it is giving me a cosinus headache.)
