Three economists and three mathematicians were going
for a trip by train. Before journey mathematicians bought 3 tickets
(they could count to three) and economists only one.
Mathematicians were glad their stupid colleagues were
going to pay a fine.
However when the conductor was approaching their
compartment, all three economists went to the nearest toilet.
Conductor noticing that somebody is in the loo knocked at the
door and in reply saw a hand with the ticket. He checked it and
economists saved 2/3 of the ticket price.
Next day mathematicians decided to use the same
strategy – they bought only one ticket, but economists did not
buy tickets at all. When mathematicians saw conductor they
went to the loo, and when they heard knocking they handed out
the ticket. They did not get it back. Why?
The economists took it and went to the other toilet.
