(Yes, restricting them to only playing at night may cause scheduling conflicts but it's a joke and of course omits such details.)
- mhurron 11y agoScheduling conflicts? Requiring others to flop their lives by 180 degrees so you can play a round of golf is a scheduling conflict? And the joke here is being used to illustrate a point (that the engineer thought of a solution when no one else did), I'm using it to point out that the engineer offered no solution while keeping to the general disregard for others in their simple work-arounds. Just hold it differently.

Or maybe the firefighters don't have the time to do it at night? It's an idea, but it's not an example of "solving the problem." It solves his problem, but probably creates problems for others.
