A poor mathematician had a very dodgy gas stove. Indeed, it caused a small fire. So he quickly filled a pot with water and put the fire out.
A few days later, it happened again. This time, there happened to be a pot filled with water, waiting to be used.
So he emptied the pot, thus reducing the problem to one he already had solved.
