There´s this joke - One engineer, one physicist and one mathematician are called to calculate how much water would be needed to put out a large fire. After 5 hours, the engineer says: "You need 10,000 gallons of water". After 12 hours later, the physicist says: "You need 9,932.56 gallons of water". After 3 days, the mathematician says: "Your problem has an answer and it is unique" Got it? |
i got it, the Mathematicians answer would of been NONE, because by three days later, the fire would of burned down the town and forest by now lol, fascinated by your question
