"Do you know what is the difference between an engineer, a physicist and a mathematician staying in a hotel, when a fire starts in their room?
Engineer: Wakes up, finds out about the fire, picks up a bucket, fills it with water, puts out the fire, and goes back to sleep.
Physicist: Wakes up, finds out about the fire, calculates how much water is needed to put out the fire, finds out that it's 4.3 liter, pours 4.3 liter of water in the bucket, puts out the fire, and goes back to sleep.
Mathematician: Wakes up, finds out about the fire, opens the tap, finds that the water is running thus a solution exists, closes the tap, and goes back to sleep. "
