 _________________________________________
/ One day this guy is finally fed up with \
| his middle-class existence and decides  |
| to do something about it. He calls up   |
| his best friend, who is a mathematical  |
| genius. "Look," he says, "do you        |
| suppose you could find some way         |
| mathematically of guaranteeing winning  |
| at the race track? We could make a lot  |
| of money and retire and enjoy life."    |
| The mathematician thinks this over a    |
| bit and walks away mumbling to himself. |
|                                         |
| A week later his friend drops by to ask |
| the genius if he's had any success. The |
| genius, looking a little bleary-eyed,   |
| replies, "Well, yes, actually I do have |
| an idea, and I'm reasonably sure that   |
| it will work, but there a number of     |
| details to be figured out.              |
|                                         |
| After the second week the mathematician |
| appears at his friend's house, looking  |
| quite a bit rumpled, and announces, "I  |
| think I've got it! I still have some of |
| the theory to work out, but now I'm     |
| certain that I'm on the right track."   |
|                                         |
| At the end of the third week the        |
| mathematician wakes his friend by       |
| pounding on his door at three in the    |
| morning. He has dark circles under his  |
| eyes. His hair hasn't been combed for   |
| many days. He appears to be wearing the |
| same clothes as the last time. He has   |
| several pencils sticking out from       |
| behind his ears and an almost maniacal  |
| expression on his face. "WE CAN DO IT!  |
| WE CAN DO IT!!" he shrieks. "I have     |
| discovered the perfect solution!! And   |
| it's so EASY! First, we assume that     |
| horses are perfect spheres in simple    |
\ harmonic motion..."                     /
