Flight attendant: Do we have a doctor on board?

Me: I have a PhD in Mathematics

Me: nodding That makes two

The formal logician next to him: "So we know there is at least one other passenger. Unless... are you feeling okay, doc?"

The woman IS the doctor.

Did he just claim that 1x + 1y = 2 without having a second equation to resolve for x and y?

Unrealistic, a true math phd would derive some elegant yet arcane symbolic proof using tropical geometry or something to verify that their life/ death outcomes, this event’s occurrence, and possible therapeutics indeed constitute one of the possible manifestation of this universe given ZFC axioms

But when pressed, not be able to confidently sum 1 and 1 to reach two, which is mere lowly arithmetic
