A physicist, an engineer and a programmer were in a car…

By probabilityZero | August 15, 2009

A physicist, an engineer and a programmer were in a car driving over a steep alpine pass when the brakes failed. The car was getting faster and faster, they were struggling to get round the corners and once or twice only the feeble crash barrier saved them from crashing down the side of the mountain. [...]
