> Three engineers and three mathematicians are travling by train to a
> conference.  At the station, the three mathematicians each buy tickets
> and watch as the three engineers buy only a single ticket.
> 
> "How are three people going to travel on one ticket?" asks a
> mathematician.
> 
> "Watch and you'll see," answers an engineer.

> They all board the train.  The mathematicians take their respective
> seats,
> but all three engineers cram into a restroom and close the door behind
> them.  Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes
> around
> collecting tickets.  He knocks on the restroom door and says, "Ticket,
> please."  The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a
> ticket in hand.  The conductor takes it and moves on.
> 
> The mathematicians see this and agree it is quite a clever idea.  So
> after
> the conference, the mathematicians decide to copy the engineers on the
> return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all
> that).
> When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return
> trip.
> To their astonishment, the engineers don't buy a ticket at all.
> 
> "How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asks one perplexed
> mathematician.
> 
> "Watch and you'll see," answers an engineer.
> 
> When they board the train, the three mathematicians all cram into one
> restroom and the three engineers cram into another one nearby.  The
> train departs.  Shortly afterward, one of the engineers leaves his
> restroom and walks over to the restroom where the mathematicians are
> hiding.  He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please."
