An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician were all sleeping
in their respective rooms when the house they were in caught fire in the middle of the night. The engineer woke up, saw the fire, and quickly threw a bucket of water on the fire. The fire was put out, but the room was soaked, and much was ruined.
The physicist woke up, and saw the fire. He quickly calculated how much heat was in the fire, went to the sink and filled up a bucket with exactly the right amount of water. He threw the water on the fire, which was put out by the water without damaging anything else.
The mathematician woke up like the others, and like the physicist, calculated how much water would be needed to put out the fire. Then, he went back to sleep, satisfied that there was a solution...
