To contribute to the exam humor that's shown up here recently....

(This is true, told to me by a chemistry professor at Idaho State
University.)

The professor had the following as an extra credit question on an exam:

	An age-old question is ``How many angels can dance on the head
	of a pin?''  Answer that question given the following:

		Each angel requires an area equal to a circle with 
		a diameter the size of a gold atom in which to dance.

		The pin in question has a head which is a circular plane
		with a diameter of 0.5 mm.

	Make any other assumptions necessary to solve the problem.

The professor was sorry to admit that he had to give full credit to the
following answer:

	I assume that angels do not exist.

	The answer is 0.
