Two engineering students are waiting to give their oral test.
The first student's turn comes and he goes inside.
Interviewer: Suppose you are travelling by train and suddenly it gets hot, what will you do?
Student: I'll open the window.
Interviewer: Great. Now suppose the area of the window is 1.5sqm and the volume of the compartment is 12m3, the train is travelling at 80km/hr in a Westerly direction and the speed of the wind is 15km/hr in a southward direction, then how much time will it take to cool down the compartment?
The student can't answer, so he's marked fail and he leaves. As he's leaving he tells the second student what the question will be.
The second student goes in and his exam starts.
Interviewer: Suppose you are travelling by train and suddenly it gets hot, what will you do?
Student: I'll remove my coat.
Interviewer: It is still hot, then what?
Student: I'll remove my shirt.
Interviewer: (angrily): What if it's still hot? What will you do then?
Student: I'll remove my pants.
Interviewer: (now fuming) And what if you die due to the heat?!
Student: I may die but I'm not going to open that damn window.

JS - Who knew there was so much math in opening a window?!
