Java Zen:Thinking Out Loud Saturday, 2025.08.30 
A mathematician, a doctor, and an engineer are walking on the beach and observe a team of lifeguards pumping the stomach of a drowned woman. As they watch, water, sand, snails and such come out of the pump.

The doctor watches for a while and says: "Keep pumping, men, you may yet save her!!" 

The mathematician does some calculations and says: "According to my understanding of the size of that pump, you have already pumped more water from her body than could be contained in a cylinder 4 feet in diameter and 6 feet high."

The engineer says: "I think she's sitting in a puddle."
