An engineer and a mathematician were locked in a heated debate about who had superior knowledge. The mathematician boasted, "I grasp concepts you can't even fathom, like some infinities are bigger than others! You engineers round pi to 3! What a joke!"
The engineer retorted, "You mathematicians are so full of yourselves! When will I ever need to know that infinities come in different sizes?"
The argument went back and forth until the engineer finally snapped, "You arrogant fool! One day this week, I'm going to hit you with the most surprising slap of your life, and you'll never see it coming!" With that, the engineer stormed off.
The mathematician grew increasingly anxious, dreading the uncertainty of when the slap would occur. He wished the engineer had just slapped him then and there.
Once his nerves settled, the mathematician began analyzing the engineer's threat. He concluded that he wouldn't be slapped on Sunday, because if he reached Saturday night unscathed, he'd know the slap would come on Sunday, negating the element of surprise.
His confidence bolstered, the mathematician extended his logic: if Sunday was off the table, then Saturday was also safe because if he got to Friday night without a slap, he'd know it was coming on Saturday. He continued deducing that he wouldn't be slapped on Friday, Thursday, or any other day that week. A simple pattern! He could even devise a formula, 7n ^ p ... He wouldn't be slapped at all! Now he could relax.
On Wednesday, the mathematician was caught off guard by a sudden slap from the engineer, who gleefully shouted, "Surprise!"
