PAM-5 fairy tale
(only for PAM-5 fans with a sense of humor)
Once upon a time three engineers were given the following problem:
You stand in front of a 500 meter wide river and you want to cross the river
to meet your princess that waits for you at exactly the opposite point where
you are now. This river is very treacherous and strong currents run through
it. What would you do ?
The first man, Oscar, being a brilliant engineer with experience in the Navy
and a person of vast resources, hired a large staff to build a $10 million
fortified Tomlinson ship that would take him, through a fiercely battle
against the current, in a straight line directly to the opposite side of the
river. In parallel, he ordered another team of engineers to build a spacious
Equal-spa on the other side of the river where he could recover his physical
shape and appearance after the difficult crossing, before meeting his
princess.
The second man, Rich, was the audacious-type of person. He built a small and
stylish T-canoe and off he threw himself into the river hoping to be carried
safely to the other side with the help of the current. He was never seen
again.
The third man, Jaime, was the cautious-type. He looked around to find a
better point to cross the river. And there, a few hundred yards down the
river he saw that the river divided itself into three small and quiet streams
of shallow water, 160 meters wide each, separated by stretches of land. Off
he went, swam safely through the quiet waters and returned on the other side
of the river to meet his princess.
Whether the princess was waiting for them on the other side of the river is
another story ...
