      Alright, don’t blame me if it’s not funny 🙂

      An engineer, a mathematician, and a physicist are staying for the night in a hotel. A small fire breaks out in each room.

      The physicist awakes, sees the fire, and does some quick calculations. Grabbing the fire extinguisher, he puts out the fire with one, short, well placed burst, and then goes back to sleep.

      The engineer awakes, sees the fire, and does some quick calculations. Grabbing the fire extinguisher (and adding a factor of safety of 5), he puts out the fire by hosing down the entire room several times over, and then goes back to sleep in his soggy bed.

      The mathematician awakes, sees the fire, and does some quick calculations. Jubilant, he exclaims “A solution exists!”, and goes back to sleep.
