A physicist, a mathematician, and an engineer are staying in a hotel. Outside their rooms, a fire erupts.
The physicist steps outside to see the fire along with a bucket and
water spigot. He simply fills the bucket with water and pours it on the
flames until they go out then returns to bed.
The engineer steps outside to see the fire along with the
bucket and water spigot. He meticulously calculates the amount of water
needed and the rate of flow to most efficiently and effectively put out
the fire. After a few minutes and a couple tests, the fire is
extinguished.
The mathematician steps outside and sees the fire. He also
notices the bucket and water spigot and exclaims "Their exists a
solution" and returns to bed.
