    Hi Joaquin, do you know the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) test?

    All students studying with one of my supervisors get N and P in this personality assessment.

    I am a little worried about our study... because of 'NP-hard'.

    Why is your Dissertation Chair like God? 

    With a wave of their hand they can make all your problems go away. However it is highly unlikely they will do that.

    What is the difference between theory and practice? 

    While, theoretically, there is no difference .... in practice there usually is.

    Q: Why should you never accept a glass of water with exactly 8 ice cubes in it?

    A: It's two cubed.

    A mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer are riding a train through Scotland.

    The engineer looks out the window, sees a black sheep, and exclaims, "Hey! They've got black sheep in Scotland!"

    The physicist looks out the window and corrects the engineer, "Strictly speaking, all we know is that there's at least one black sheep in Scotland."

    The mathematician looks out the window and corrects the physicist, " Strictly speaking, all we know is that is that at least one side of one sheep is black in Scotland."
