Think first

An Economist, an Actuary and a (Pure) Mathematician were holidaying in Scotland. Glancing from a train window, they observed a

(black sheep) in the middle of a field. “How interesting”, observed the Economist, “all Scottish sheep are black!”. To which the Actuary responded “No, no! Some Scottish sheep are black!” The Mathematician gazed heavenward in supplication, and then intoned, “In Scotland there exists at least one field, containing at least one sheep, at least one side of which is black.” MATH1151 (Algebra)
