Einstein, Newton, and Pascal are hanging out one afternoon. Einstein is bored, so he suggests, "Let's play hide-and-seek. I'll be it!" The others agree, so Einstein begins counting. "One... Two... Three..." Pascal runs off right away to find a place to hide. But Newton merely takes out a piece of chalk and draws a 1 meter x 1 meter square. He finishes and steps into the square just as Einstein shouts, "Ready or not -- here I come!" Einstein looks up and immediately spots Newton standing right in front of him. He says, "I found you, Pascal!"

Did they have a wager on it?

No. Not my joke btw. I guess it is a riddle too, if you ask why would he say that?

Newton was not on the metric system. So it had to be Pascal - or a relative.

In the version that I know, Einstein said "I found you, Newton"!

Newton replied: "No, you didn't find me, you found Pascal"!

As a unit of measurement 1 Pascal is equal to 1 Newton per square meter.

yup that's it. Same idea.

Pascal's counterwager

You should live your life with efforts of virtue and wisdom guided ethics regardless of faith. For if God exists and is rational "He" will recognize the true value is in the actions and choices that resulted from rational thinking, not the bargaining of an ego, even a higher being's ego, as superior value to just faith with limited participation in deeds. He will reward it with the final proof. If God doesnt exist the value remains with the world you leave behind anyway and that is your immortality. If God exists and is not rational but egocentric to punish the lack of unconditional faith even in the presence of decent life actions/deeds, then that is a battle in eternity worth having to improve this condition of torture that plagues the universe.

At least their game of hide-and-seek was more fun than the time they played tag with Zeno. Because, even though he came incredibly close, he never managed to tag anyone.

lol nice
