I once saw on a large air vent in a physics building, a little official looking label (matching campus P. plant style) saying:
"Warped Space Entrance, Authorized Personnel Only".

It went away in a few weeks.

Saturday and Sunday the rest are week days.
But Saturday and Sunday are not very strong either, they are weakened.

He chases it with his pack and shoots at it.
He divides the forest into two, looks which part the rabbit is in. Then he divides this one into two, looks which part ...
He catches a wild boar and beats it until it admits to be a rabbit.

(*) This is only culturally adapted. My version goes with german cops. No offense to the US. I just thought it fits better with an intelligence service and nobody knows BND.

How do you kill a blue elephant?
Shoot it with a blue elephant gun.
How do you kill a red elephant?
Twist its trunk until it turns blue and then shoot it with a red elephant gun.

An international team has found a mammoth in the Siberian tundra. The scientists bet which one of them can determine its age most precisely. The German scientist crawled into the cave and returned after 10 minutes: "It is 3.5 million years old." I can do better, said the American and crawled into the cave. He returned after an hour and said: "It is 3.47 million years old." At last the Russian scientist vanished in the cave. His colleagues waited for an hour, two hours, three hours, but it wasn't before the next day when he returned. "And? What do you think?" - "It is 3,468,324 years, 5 month and 2 days old!" - "Wow! How can you know?" - "The interrogation was tough, but in the end he confessed."

Museum visitor: "How old is the mammoth skeleton?"
Museum attendant: "3,500,003 years."
Visitor: "Wow! How can you know?"
Attendant: "When I started working here 3 years ago, it was 3,500,000 years old."

Too inefficient. You make a small cage, dividing the surface of Earth into two parts and define the larger part of Earth's surface to be the inside.

That's what logicians do. The rest uses a Möbius-transformation on the Riemann sphere, or Cauchy's integral formula in case the rabbit's residue is known.

I thought that the usual method of catching a rabbit was to paint yourself orange and make a noise like a carrot.
