The Difference Between Scientists And Engineers

Problem. Boy and girl are 10 feet apart. The boy can move towards the girl half way at a time. First movement five feet. Second movement 2.5 feet, etc.

Q. Do they ever reach each other?

Scientist’s answer : No

Engineer’s answer : They get close enough.

This explains much of the inane discussion in some recent threads.
