Opening a Can
Three men with degrees in mathematics, physics and biology are
locked up in dark rooms for research reasons.
A week later the researchers open the a door, the biologist steps out and reports: `Well, I sat around until I started to get bored, then I searched the room and found a tin which I smashed on the floor. There was food in it which I ate when I got hungry. That's it.'
Then they free the man with the degree in physics and he says: `I walked along the walls to get an image of the room's geometry, then I searched it. There was a metal cylinder at five feet into the room and two feet left of the door. It felt like a tin and I threw it at the left wall at the right angle and velocity for it to crack open.'
Finally, the researchers open the third door and hear a faint voice out of the darkness: `Let C be an open can.'
