2 mathematicians were eating lunch and discussing the overall state of society. mathematician A maintained that the general population were remarkably stupid while mathematican B disagreed and felt that A was underestimating the masses.
they decided to resolve their disagreement with a simple, friendly wager. they would ask the waitress, who was a young blond lady a simple integration problem. they agreed the question would be, "what is the integral of 1?" at this point A retired to the bathroom, and B, shadily, sought out the waitress. he said to her, "my friend and i have a wager and i will tip you well if you will help me win. we will ask you a question and all you must do is answer with 'x'." she left and in A returned none the wiser. when she returned they proceed with the question. a: dear, we have a question for you. b: are you able to tell us the integral of 1? waitress: of course, the answer is x. A was quite surprised though impressed while B smiled smugly. with that the waitress finished clearing the table was about to walk off when she turned and said, "plus a constant." |
