Newton; Einstein; Pascal and Gauss were playing "hide-and-seek". While Einstein was counting,
the others tried to find a place to hide. Pascal found a good place behind a sofa. Gauss, behind
a drape. Newton couldn't find a place to hide... so he draw an 1 meter x 1 meter square on the
floor and stood up straight.
As soon as Einstein finished counting, he immediately spotted Newton and said:
- Gotcha, Newton !
Then Newton shouted:
- The heck you got me ! I am not Newton; i am Pascal...

Does it have to do with this: 1 Pascal: "the SI unit of pressure, equal to one newton per square meter (approximately 0.000145 pounds per square inch, or 9.9 × 10-6 atmospheres).

There are three kinds of mathematicians, those who can count and those who can’t count.

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world: those that understand binary numbers and those that don't.

Correct. It is a silly joke we used to share at the Engineering school.
