An assemblage of the greatest minds in the world was gathered at a
conference to solve the age-old and profound question:

<h1>What is 2 + 2 ?</h1>

<p>
Here were the responses from the experts:

<dl>
<dt>Accountant: <dd> "2 + 2 = 4.45, with GST and PST included."

<dt>Lawyer: <dd> Shuts all the doors and windows, glances back and forth,
        then whispers, "Well what do you want it to be?"

<dt>Politician: <dd> "What does the poll say?"

<dt>Doctor: <dd> "I once memorized the answer before and I think it's 4. Wait,
         or was that 1 + 3?  Nope, 3 + 1?  2 * 2?  Hmm, I'm not sure.
         Looks like I'll have to dig out the Medical Handbook.  Excuse
         me..."

<dt>Psychiatrist: <dd> "The answer is negative 4 or positive 4 depending on
         your mood swing."

<dt>Physicist: <dd> Goes and performs the most complicated calculations
         using the Theory of Relativity, and announces:
         "2 + 2 = pi plus or minus pi."

<dt>Civil Engineer: <dd> "About 5."
         (And this is why all engineers now have to wear an iron ring.)

<dt>Electrical Engineer: <dd> "Where's my @#*  calculator? "

<dt>Mathematician: <dd> Cogitates for a while, completely oblivious to the
         rest of the world, then returns with his hair all tangled up
         and declares, "I don't know the answer but I can prove that
         the solution exists and converges."

<dt>Chemist: <dd> Goes and mixes solutions of red, green, and yellow together
         which results in a series of explosions; does somecalculations
         and announces, "At room temperature, 2 + 2 = 3.1 plus or minus
         5 parts per million.  Hold on... that doesn't seem right...
         hmm..."

<dt>Biologist: <dd> "The question doesn't make sense:  you can't cross two
         inorganic things together..."

<dt>Philosopher: <dd> "Gentlemen, the question is not 'WHAT is 2 + 2' but
         'WHY is 2 + 2' "

<dt>Archeologist: <dd> "2 + 2 is between 10000 and 20000 using carbon dating
         technique."

<dt>Historian: <dd> "Gentlemen, this is a historic moment.  We're on the
         verge of making history   So what's the answer gonna be?"
         (Everyone ignores him and goes on with the debate.)

<dt>Computer Programmer: <dd> "This is a very difficult problem.  Let me
         write a program to solve it."  He goes and writes a
         program and executes it.  The output reads:
         "2 + 2 is... Segmentation fault.  Core dump."

<dt>Windows 95 Programmer: <dd> The program output reads:
         "2 + 2 is... Please wait..."

<dt>Unix Programmer: <dd> Goes and writes a program called "2plus2" with the
         command syntax:
         2plus2 -n1 first_number -n2 second_number -o operation
         YY-pPq Y-r ! -st  output_format  Y-l landscape ! -p portrait
         Y-R round_up_digits  Y-l Yo ! n  optimization  Y-B Yb ! d ! x
        ! o   base_radix  Y-i$ iterations  Y-gYx ! y  graphic_output
         Y-fn filename  Y-t batch_job  Y-bp beep  Y-r randomize
         Y-g guess  Y-h hog_CPU  Y-a abort

Upon execution, the output reads:
               "Bad command.  Not enough arguments."

<dt>Economist: <dd> Draws a graph projection of the result over the 1985 -
         1999 period which looks like this:
<pre>
                      10 +                   oooo    o
                         !           o      o    o oo o
                         !          o o    o      o    o
            sum (2+2)  5 +o     oo o   oooo
                         ! o
                         !  ooo
                      0 +---------+---------+---------+
