Some of the World's great minds assembled to answer the question: "What is 2 + 2?"
The Engineer pulled out his creaky slide rule, worked it for a moment, then announced: "3.99"
The Physicist consulted his technical references, set up the problem on his computer, and declared: "It lies somewhere between 3.98 and 4.02."
The Mathematician cogitated, oblivious to everything, then shouted: "I don't know what the answer is, but I can tell you, an answer exists."
The Philosopher asked: "What do you mean by 2 + 2?"
The Logician requested that the question be defined more precisely.
Last came the Accountant, who closed all the doors and windows, looked around, then asked in a whisper: "What do you want it to be?"
