HOW TO PUT OUT A FIRE
A chemist, an engineer and a mathematician were all asleep in a hotel when
several fires broke out in their respective rooms.
The chemist woke up, saw the fire, ran over to his desk, pulled out his CRC
(chemistry handbook), and began working out all sorts of fluid dynamics
equations. After a couple minutes, he threw down his pencil, got a graduated
cylinder out of his suitcase, and measured out a precise amount of water. He
threw it on the fire, extinguishing it, with not a drop wasted, and went
back to sleep.
The engineer woke up, saw the fire, ran into the bathroom, turned on the
faucets full-blast, flooding out the entire apartment, which put out the
fire, and went back to sleep.
The mathematician woke up, saw the fire, ran over to his desk, began working
through theorems, dilemmas, hypotheses, you-name-it, and after a few
minutes, put down his pencil triumphantly and exclaimed, "I have proven that
I can put the fire out!" He then went back to sleep.
