The Flood is over and the ark has landed. Noah lets all the animals out and says, "Go forth and multiply."

A few months later, Noah decides to take a stroll and see how the animals are doing. Everywhere he looks he finds baby animals. Everyone is doing fine except for one pair of little snakes. "What's the problem?" says Noah.
"Cut down some trees and let us live there", say the snakes.

Noah follows their advice. Several more weeks pass. Noah checks on the snakes again. Lots of little snakes, everybody is happy. Noah asks, "Want to tell me how the trees helped?"

How many mathematicians does it take to change a light bulb?
- None. It's left to the reader as an exercise.
- None. The answer is intuitively obvious.
- One. He gives it to four programmers, thereby simplifying the problem to a previous question.

How many numerical analysts does it take to change a light bulb?
- 3.9967 (after six iterations).

How many mathematical logicians does it take to change a light bulb?
- None. They can't do it, but they can easily prove that it can be done.

How many classical geometers does it take to change a light bulb?
- None. You can't do it with a straight edge and a compass.

How many analysts does it take to change a light bulb?
- Three. One to prove existence, one to prove uniqueness and one to derive a nonconstructive algorithm to do it.

How many number theorists does it take to change a light bulb?
- I don't know the exact number, but I am sure it must be some rather elegant prime.
