Three Apple engineers and three Microsoft employees are traveling by
train to a conference. At the station, the three Microsoft employees
each buy tickets and watch as the three Apple engineers buy only a
single ticket.
"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?' asks a
Microsoft employee. "Watch and you'll see," answers the Apple
engineer. They all board the train. The Microsoft employees take
their respective seats but all three Apple engineers cram into a restroom
and close the door behind them.
Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around
collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says, "ticket,
please." The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a
ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on. The Microsoft saw
this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the
Microsoft employees decide to copy the Apple engineers on the return
trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all that). When
they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip.
To their astonishment, the Apple engineers don't buy a ticket at
all."How are you going to travel without a ticket?" says one
perplexed Microsoft employee. "Watch and you'll see," answers an Apple
engineer. When they board the train the three Microsoft employees cram
into a restroom and the three Apple engineers cram into another one
nearby.
The train departs. Shortly afterward, one of the Apple engineers
leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the Microsoft
employees are hiding.He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket,
