Comprehending Engineers -- Take Two
In the high school gym, all the girls in the class were lined up
against one wall, and all the boys against the opposite wall. Then,
every ten seconds, they walked toward each other until they were
half the previous distance apart. A mathematician, a physicist, and
an engineer were asked, "When will the girls and boys meet?"
The mathematician said: "Never."
The physicist said: "In an infinite amount of time."
The engineer said: "Well... in about two minutes, they'll be close
enough for all practical purposes."
