"Sadly, no," says the mathematician.

"I can get close enough!" exclaims the engineer.

that is funny

But not quite correct!
The mathematician would be well aware of the fact that he would cross any line drawn on the floor, so he can get there very nicly, thank you.

It would approach it asymptotically, wouldn't it?

If you've calculated that the world series actually diverges.

Good one! Never heard that before!


Don't know if it's still true, but back in my day you knew it was an engineering party when the music was Tom Lehrer. And everybody sang along.

you know you're at an engineering party when everyone smells because they've spent the last three days in lab. =P
