But what's the limit of the elevator?

gallegos@u.arizona.edu (Ranma Saotome)
(original, smirk, math)

While on my way up to the 7th (top) floor of the Math building here at the 
University of Arizona to turn in my paper, I started reading the little
scribblings people would write on the wall such as "Love makes the world
go round", followed by "With a little help from intrinsic angular momentum"
and such. (Dang physics students!)

Then I looked up at the lighted numbers above the door that indicate which
floor I was on and read the following (floor numbers in parentheses):

        --                          -- 
 (1)  \\/ 2  (2)  e  (3)  pi  (4)  \\/17  (5)  2e  (6)  2pi  (7)  infinity
 

And underneath all that, was written (in red pen, no less):

             "Incomplete proof. Resubmit."


[For the non-math people... e is the natural logarithm 2.71828, pi is 3.1415,
the square root of 17 is 4.12310, 2e is 5.43656, and so forth.]
