Engineer, Mathematician, PhysicistAn engineer, a mathematician, and a physicist went to the races one Saturday and laid their money down. Commiserating in the bar after the race, the engineer says, "I don't understand why I lost all my money. I measured all the horses and calculated their strength and mechanical advantage and figured out how fast they could run . . ."The physicist interrupted him: ". . . but you didn't take individual variations into account. I did a statistical analysis of their previous performances and bet on the horses with the highest probability of winning . . ." ". . . so if you're so hot why are you broke?" asked the engineer.

They both demanded to know his secret. "Well," he says, between puffs on the pipe, "first I assumed all the horses were identical and spherical . . ."
