A mathematician, a physicist and an engineer are led into a long room. At the other end stands a beautiful naked woman. "When I ring this bell," she says" you may cross half the space between us. When I ring the bell again, you may again cross half the space between us." Both the mathematician and physicist groan and wander off. "Ah, it's Zeno's paradox, we can never actually reach her." The engineer, waiting for the bell, says "I think I can get close enough."

Can confirm.

and yelling at people who don't understand, apparently.

I've committed the most heinous of crimes according to the internet, not understanding the joke. ~~Sorry i'm autistic lmao.~~

So, I understand why there is a naked woman in the joke, what I don't understand is her motivation.

Don't you know women are objects and have no motivations. /s obviously
