Transcription: A screenshot of a tweet by a user called 'llama in a dracula cape (@LlamaInaTux)'. The text of the tweet is as follows.

Flight attendant: Do we have a doctor on board?

Me: I have a PhD in Mathematics

Flight attendant: one passenger is having a heart attack and one passenger is having an asthma attack

Me: nodding That makes two

The formal logician next to him: "So we know there is at least one other passenger. Unless... are you feeling okay, doc?"

Unless it's the same passenger...

Unrealistic, a true math phd would derive some elegant yet arcane symbolic proof using tropical geometry or something to verify that their life/ death outcomes, this event’s occurrence, and possible therapeutics indeed constitute one of the possible manifestation of this universe given ZFC axioms

But when pressed, not be able to confidently sum 1 and 1 to reach two, which is mere lowly arithmetic

Yeah, 1 + 1 = 2 is the type of comment done by an accountant, not a PhD in mathematics

Did he just claim that 1x + 1y = 2 without having a second equation to resolve for x and y?
