"The mechanical engineer (ME) however decided that simply walking was sufficient" and ignored the first rule of the game!!! :o)
-----Message d'origine----- De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] la part de Ross, Michael Envoyé : June 3, 2004 8:27 AM À : William Rance; Info LabVIEW Mailing List Objet : RE: Programming approach The mechanical engineer (ME) however decided that simply walking was sufficient to obtain the snack and much more easily executed than the first 10 foot jump. The same principal led this engineer to take up LV wiring and forego coding altogether.

A Pure Mathematician(PM) and an Applied Mathematician(AM) were put in separate rooms and located 20ft from an Apple.They were informed that to reach the apple they had to jump 10ft, followed by another jump of half the distance (5ft) followed by subsequent jumps each of which would be half the distance of preceding jump. The PM quickly calculated that no matter how may jumps he made he could never land at the apple, consequently he did not attempt the jumps. The AM however immediately started jumping, as he calculated that after 5 to 6 jumps he would land close enough to grab the apple. Happy coding to all.
