Re: A physicist, and engineer and a economist are all trapped on an island...

One day a physicist, a biologist, and a mathematician are sitting on a
bench. They observe two people enter the house and, sometime later,
three people emerge. The physicist says: "3 is quite close to 2. We
can attribute the discrepancy to experimental error. The biologist
says: "No, no. Obviously the phenomenon of reproduction has
occurred." The mathematician says: "One of them will reenter the
house and then the house will be empty again."
