The rephrased statement: "If p=/=q then there exists k such that p +q=2k" is obviously true since p+q=2[(p+q)/2]

The engineer wakes up and smells smoke. He goes to the bathroom, he fills a trashcan with water and douses the fire. He goes back to bed. But he doesn't finish the job completely, and the fire returns. Later, the mathematician wakes up and smells smoke. He goes to the bathroom, sees the water faucet, thinks for a moment and then exclaims: 'Aha! A solution exists!' and then goes back to bed. |
