PRACTICAL PERFORMANCE

TRUTH OF ENGINEERING GENIUS

We were conducting experiment on performance of pumps,

 unfortunately results we got were just opposite of ideal 

performance. The figures were showing increasing trend 

with increase in inputs instead of lowering! 

We asked about this strange phenomeon, the teacher, 

without bothering about the performance of pump, advised us

how to show this on graph. “If we increase X-axis scale and

 reduce the scale of Y-axis, the results will look alright.”

This reminds me of one instance. We had one guest lecture

 and the guest appreciated the prepared item during lunch.

 the guest asked local chef, “How do you prepare scrambled

 eggs?” 

The lady accompanying the guest suggested, 

“Do you prepare it by vigorously shaking the egg after

 pouring it on the frying pan?”

The poor fellow without understanding anything said,

”जैसे आपने अभी बताया वैसा ही करेंगे तो जो आप कह रहे थे वही चीज बन जाएगी” 

GENIUS PROFESSOR

The professor was collecting Rs. 250 each from the students. He made 4 columns, distinguishing three digits for numbers and one column for name of student. He wrote the name of student in one column and amount paid in three columns; thus 2 I 5 I 0. On completion of the task, he started adding the total at the end. There were 72 students, he made some mistake and the total was not tallying with the amount collected. He was puzzled. 

One student observed this and offered help. The professor handed over the sheet to the student. The student multiplied the number of students and the money collected.
