The old mathematician joke.<br><br>Two people go into a seemingly empty house, and later on, three people leave. What's the answer?<br><br>And it's one of those traditional ones where people from a variety of professions provide their answers (eg Biologist: "They have reproduced")<br><br>Mathematician: If one more person now enters the house, it will be empty again.
