Hoping to try another career where skilful hands would be beneficial, he decided to become a mechanic. He went to the local technical college, signed up for evening classes, attended diligently, and learned all he could.
When the time of the practical exam approached, the gynaecologist prepared carefully for weeks and completed the exam with tremendous skill. When the results came back, he was surprised to find that he had obtained a score of 150%. Fearing an error, he called the Instructor, saying, "I don't want to appear ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I wonder if there is an error in the grade?"
"The instructor said, "During the exam, you took the engine apart perfectly, which was worth 50% of the total mark. You put the engine back together again perfectly, which is also worth 50% of the mark."
After a pause, the instructor added, "I gave you an extra 50% because you did it all through the exhaust, which I've never seen done in my entire career".
As it's an emergency, and the highway is completely empty at this time of night, he's going a little over the speed limit. Suddenly, he sees blue lights fire up behind him, and he's pulled over.
The cop approaches the car and says "Do you know how fast you were going?"
"About five miles an hour over," says the doctor. "Sorry. I'm a doctor, and one of my patients has taken a turn for the worse, so I'm rushing to the hospital."
"The rules are the rules," replies the cop. "I've gotta give you a ticket." The cop starts writing it out and, as he does, asks "What kind of doctor are you, anyway?"
"I'm an asshole stretcher," says the doctor. "One of the best, actually."
"You're a what?" says the baffled cop, looking up from the ticket.
"Yeah, if they need an asshole stretching they come to me. I can easily get them two, three feet wide. Some I've got up to six foot."
"What the hell do you do with a six-foot asshole?" asks the incredulous cop.
"You get him to stop people going five miles an hour over the limit at 3am."

The engineer a little confused answer 4 of course.
The employer thanks him and calls in the mathematician.

The mathematician states that with high certainty it’s around 4.
The employer thanks him and calls in the economist.
