An assemblage of the most gifted minds in the world were all posed the
following question:
"What is 2 + 2 ?"
The engineer whips out his slide rule (so it's old) and shuffles it back
and forth, and finally announces "3.99".
The physicist consults his technical references, sets up the problem on
his computer, and announces "it lies between 3.98 and
4.02".
The mathematician cogitates for a while, oblivious to the rest of the
world, then announces: "I don't know what the answer is, but I
can prove an answer exists!".
Philosopher: "But what do you mean by 2 + 2 ?"
Logician: "Please define 2 + 2 more precisely."
Accountant: Closes all the doors and windows, looks around carefully then
asks "What do you want the answer to be?"
