"I'm thinking of either the number 1, 2, or 3, what is one yes or no question that you could ask to discern which number it is I'm thinking of?"

But it's so entertaining to watch people who have absolutely no idea what they are talking about try to justify a wrong answer ;)

Nice.
See? All that college was useful. Now I understand a few more jokes I may encounter in life.
Maybe it should be "GPA -> 1." If GPA -> 0, lim(ENGR) = Best Buy/McDonalds employee. I don't think you can even get very far in a CAS program with a 0.0 GPA.;)

Hey, I liked my solution: come up with a yes no question for which there are 3 states: State A: one solution
State B: a second solution
State C: a solution exists, and it can be proven a solution exists, but the problem is unsolveable.

I like your idea too DrPizza. But your example is just a bit too complicated to be useful in a yes/no question.

I didn't come up with the limit, so cut me some slack.

Street life teaches you everything you need to know...

Guy on Street #2: It's 3:00. Where the hell is Louie?
Guy on Street #1: Well, you tell me. Louie left his house at 2:15 and had to travel a distance 6.2 miles traveling at a rate of five miles a hour. When will Louie get here?
Guy On Street #2: Depends if he stops to see his ho.
Guy on Street #1: That's what we call a "variable".
