Careful who you try that on. I can think of a couple of teachers I had who would have produced a microscope, checked for a diagram, and then told him off while the rest of the class jeered at him...

I think you copied that neutrino from the one next to it - they're identical.Orodruin said:

I'll have to take your word for it. I presume it's a smoothly changing mix of flavour and mass states, and I guess two neutrinos' oscillations aren't necessarily in phase?Orodruin said:That’s not how oscillations work ..

I mean the problem said that the invoice was illegible, so I would just assume there were 12 hams or something, which is still an unreasoable amount. But 72? That is just mind boggling.fresh_42 said:

One morning a husband returns to the cabin after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.
Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out, since it is such a beautiful day. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.
Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says," Good morning, Ma'am, what are you doing"?
"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, "Isn't that obvious"?)
"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.
"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading."
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. I'll have to write you up a ticket."
"For reading a book"? she replies.
"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her again.
"But officer, I'm not fishing, I'm reading."
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to write you up a ticket and you'll have to pay a fine."
"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.
"But I haven't even touched you," says the Game Warden.
"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment."
"Have a nice day ma'am," and he immediately departed.
MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.

I hate people who pretend to be intellectual and talk about Mozart even though they've never seen a painting of her.
