This has been around in various forms for years...and I still get a chuckle out of it. :)

Yep, this one has a different ending than the last time I read it. The last time the author and Teresa did not conjugate their relationship leading him to conclude that possibility 2 was incorrect, therefore it must be possibility 1.

When I took thermo at Cornell back in the late 1970’s our Professor posed the question “Is hell adiabatic?.” (Adiabatic meaning there exists a temperature gradient within the bounds of hell.)

The story was that a bright engineering student determined that there must surely be plenty of engineers in hell and that if a thermal gradient did exist those engineers would have built a heat pump and cooled the place. As far as he knew, hell was still hot, therefore hell could not be adiabatic.
