A physicist, an engineer, and a computer programmer are driving down a steep mountain pass when the car’s brakes fail.
The car speeds out of control around sharp turns, nearly flying off the edge before they miraculously manage to skid to a stop at the bottom.
Shaken up, they discuss what to do next:
• The physicist says: "We need to calculate the friction coefficients in the brake pads and model the temperature rise to figure out why they failed."
• The engineer says: "I have a few tools in the trunk. I’ll take a look underneath and see if I can fix the mechanical failure."
• The programmer says: "Why don't we get back in and see if it's reproducible?"
