Meeting or seven red lines. Seven red perpendicular lines of green color to spend seven red perpendicular lines
(Meeting room)
"Colleagues," says the head of the Naidtice Morkovieva, "there was a large-scale challenge to our organization. We entered the implementation of the project, in which we need to portray several red lines. Are you ready to take this task for yourself?
"Of course," said the head of Sidgorukhina. He is director, and always ready to take over the problem, which will have to carry someone from the team. However, he immediately clarifies:
- We can we?
The head of Petrova Sidoryakhin hurriedly nods:
- Yes, sure. Here we are just sitting by Petrov, he is our best specialist in the field of drawing red lines. We specifically invited him to the meeting so that he express his competent opinion.
"Very nice," says Morovkaev. - Well, you all know me. And this is the Lenochka, she is a specialist in design in our organization.
Specialist of the lenochka is covered with paint and smiles embarrassed. She recently finished economic, and the design has the same attitude as WKONKOS to the design of airship.
"So," says Morovkaev. - We need to draw seven red lines. All of them must be strictly perpendicular, and moreover, some need to draw green, and some more - transparent. What do you think it is real?
"No," Petrov says.
"Let's not hurry with the answer, Petrov," says Sidoryakhin. - The task is delivered, and it needs to be solved. You are a professional, Petrov. Do not let us assume that you are not a professional.
"You see," Petrov explains, "the term" red line "implies that the color of the line is red. Draw a red line in green not that it is impossible, but very close to the impossible ...
- Petrov, what does it mean "impossible"? - asks Sidoryakhin.
- I just find a situation. Perhaps there are people who suffer from daltonism, for whom it really will not have the values \u200b\u200bof the line color, but I'm not sure that the target audience of your project is exclusively of such people.
- That is, in principle, this is possible, we understand you correctly, Petrov? - asks Morovkaev.
Petrov is aware that it moved with the imagery.
"Let's say easier," he says. - Line, as such, can be drawn completely in any color. But to get a red line, only red color should be used.
- Petrov, you do not confuse us, please. Just you said it is possible.
Petrov silently curses his chatty.
- No, you misunderstood me. I just wanted to say that in some, extremely rare situations, the color of the line will not matter, but even then - the line will not still be red. You see, she will not be red! She will be green. And you need red.
There is a short silence, in which the quiet tense buzz of synapses is clearly heard.
- And what if, - an autumn idea, pronounces depths, - draw them in blue?
"It will not work anyway," Petrov shakes. - If you draw blue - it turns out blue lines.
Silence again. This time, Petrov himself interrupts him.
- And I have not yet understood ... What did you mean when they spoke about the lines of transparent color?
Morkovayeva looks at him condescendingly as a kind teacher on the lagging student.
- Well, how do you explain? .. Petrov, don't you know what is "transparent"?
- And what is the "red line", I hope you also do not need to explain?
- No, no need.
- Here you go. You draw us red lines with transparent color.
Petrov for a second freezes, thinking about the situation.
- And how should the result look, please, please describe? How do you imagine that?
- Well, ya, petro-oh! - says Sidoryakhin. - Well, let's not ... Do we have a kindergarten? Who is a specialist in red lines, carrots or you?
- I'm just trying to clarify for myself the details of the task ...
- Well, what's wrong with something? .. - Nedosaytsev is engaged in the conversation. - You know what a red line is?
- Yes, but ...
- And what is "transparent", are you clear too?
- Of course, but ...
- So what do you explain something? Petrov, well, let's not go down to unproductive disputes. The task is set, the task is clear and clear. If you have specific questions, so ask.
"You're a professional," adds Sidoryakhin.
"Okay," Petrov surrender. - God with him, with color. But do you have something else with perpendicularity? ..
"Yes," Morkovieva confirms readily. - seven lines, all strictly perpendicular.
- Perpendicular to what? - Specifies Petrov.
Morkovayeva begins to view his papers.
"Uh," she finally said. - Well, how ... everything. Between themselves. Well, or how there ... I do not know. I thought it was you know what perpendicular lines are, - finally she is.
"Of course he knows," Sidoryin cheats his hands. - Are we here, or not professionals? ..
- Perpendicular to two lines can be, - Petrov patiently. - All seven simultaneously cannot be perpendicular to each other. This is geometry, grade 6.
Morkovayeva shakes his head, drivening out the ghost of the long forgotten school education. Injustmen slaps palm on the table:
- Petrov, let's without this: "Grade 6, grade 6". Let's be mutually polite. We will not make hints and sliding to insults. Let's support a constructive dialogue. Here, not idiots gathered.
"I think so too," Sidoryahin says.
Petrov makes a piece of paper.
"Good," he says. - Let's, I draw you. Here is the line. So?
Morovkovayev's approved nods.
"Draw another ..." says Petrov. - Is she perpendicular to the first?
- Yes, it is perpendicular.
- Well, you see! Morkovyev's joyfully exclaims.
- Wait, it's not all. Now we draw a third ... is it perpendicular to the first line? ..
Thoughtful silence. Without waiting for a response, Petrov answers himself:
- Yes, she is perpendicular to the first line. But with the second line it does not intersect. With the second line they are parallel.
Silence comes. Then Morkovayeva rises from his place and, having rebuilt the table, enters Petrov from the rear, looking at his shoulder.
"Well ..." she utters uncertainly. - Maybe yes.
- That's the thing, "says Petrov, seeking to consolidate the achieved success. - While two lines, they can be perpendicular. As soon as they become more ...
- Can I handle me? - asks Morkovyev.
Petrov gives a handle. Morkovayeva gently spends several unsure lines.
- And if so?..
Petrov sighs.
- This is called a triangle. No, these are not perpendicular lines. In addition, there are three of them, and not seven.
Morkovayeva mans his lips.
- Why are they blue? - Suddenly asks for departures.
- Yes, by the way, it supports Sidoryakhin. - I wanted to ask himself.
Petrov blinks several times, looking at the drawing.
"I have a blue handle," he finally says. - I'm just to demonstrate ...
"It turns out the same thing," Petrov says confidently.
- Well, how is the same? - Says depths. - How can you be sure if you did not even try? You draw red, and see.
"I have no red handle with me," Petrov admits. - But I can absolutely ...
- And what you did not prepare, Sidoryakhin says ukriznarly. - I knew that there would be a meeting ...
"I absolutely can tell you exactly," Petrov says in despair, "that in red it turns out exactly the same thing."
- You ourselves said to us last time, - Sidoryakhin parches, - what to draw red lines is needed in red. Here, I recorded myself even. And you yourself draw them a blue handle. Is that red lines in your opinion?
"By the way, yes," notes the depths. - I still asked you about blue. What did you answer me?
Petrova suddenly saves the lenochka, with interest studying his drawing from his seat.
"I think I understand," she says. - You are not talking about color now, yes? Do you have this about this, how do you call it? Perperotes-something-there?
"Perpendicularity of lines, yes," Petrov speaks gratefully. - It is not connected with the color of the lines.
"Everything, you confused me finally," says the depths, translating the view from one member of the meeting to another. - So with us with what problems? With color or perpendicularity?
Morkovayeva makes confused sounds and shakes his head. She also confused.
"And with the fact, and with another," Petrov says quietly.
"I can't understand anything," says the depths, looking at his fingers lurked into the castle. - There is a task. You need only seven red lines. I understand that there would be twenty! .. But then there are only seven. The task is simple. Our customers want seven perpendicular lines. Right?
Morkovyev nods.
"And Sidoryakhin also does not see the problem," says the depths. - I'm right, Sidoryakhin? .. Well. So what prevents us from performing the task?
"Geometry," Petrov says with a sigh.
- Well, you just do not pay attention to it, that's all! - Pronounces Morkovieva.
Petrov is silent by going with thoughts. In his brain, one of the other colorful metaphors would be born, which would allow to bring to those surrounding the surrealism of what is happening, but as discharged, all of them, having enhanced in words, begin in the invariably obscene in a word, completely inappropriate as part of a business conversation.
Charter waiting for a response, inconsistencies say:
- Petrov, you will just answer - you can do or you can't? I understand that you are a narrow specialist and do not see the overall picture. But it is easy - to draw some seven lines? We are discussing for two hours some kind of nonsense, we can't come to the decision.
"Yes," says Sidoryain. - You just criticize and say: "Impossible! Impossible! " You offer us your solution to the problem! And then criticize and the fool can, sorry for the expression. You are a professional!
Petrov is tired of saying:
- Okay. Let me draw two guaranteed perpendicular red lines, and the rest are transparent. They will be transparent, and they will not be visible, but I will draw them. Does it suit you?
- This will suit us? - Morovkov turns around to the Lenochka. - Yes, we will satisfy us.
- Only at least a couple - green, - adds the lenochka. - And I also have such a question, you can?
- Can one line portray in the form of a kitten?
Petrov is silent for a few seconds, and then asks:
- Well, in the form of a kitten. Kitten. Our users like animals. It would be very cool…
"No," Petrov says.
- And why?
- No, I certainly can draw you a cat. I'm not an artist, but I can try. Only it will not be a line. It will be a cat. Line and cat are different things.
- Kitten, - clarifies Morovkaev. - Not a cat, but a kitten, so small, cute. Cats, they ...
"Yes, it's still," Petrov shakes.
"At all in no way, yes? .." Lenochka asks disappointed.
"Petrov, you would even listen to the end," the causticians say irritably. - did not hear, and already say no.
"I understood the thought," not raising his look from the table, says Petrov. " - Draw a line in the form of a kitten is impossible.
- Well, do not then, - Allows the Lenochka. - And the bird will not work either?
Petrov silently raises her glance and the lady understands everything.
"Well, don't then," she repeats again.
Injudice slaps palm on the table.
- So what are we staying on? What are we doing?
- Seven red lines, "says Morovkaev. - Two red, and two green, and the rest are transparent. Yes? I understood correctly?
"Yes," confirms Sidoryakhin before Petrov, he has time to open his mouth.
There are no goodwire.
- That's fine ... Well, then, all, colleagues? .. Are you going? .. There are more questions? ..
- Oh, - remembers the Lenochka. - We still have a red balloon! Tell me, can you inflate it?
- Yes, by the way, "says Morkovieva. - Let's also discuss this too to not be collected twice.
"Petrov," the depths of depths to Petrov turns. - We can?
- What does the ball have a ball? - Petrov asks surprise.
"He's red," explains the Lenochka.
Petrov stupidly silent by fading the tips of the fingers.
"Petrov," unsteady ask nervously. - So you can or can't you? The simple question.
"Well," Petrov says carefully, "in principle, I certainly can, but ...
- Good, - nods the depths. - Take a trip to them, inflate. Traveling, if necessary, divert.
- Tomorrow can be? - asks Morovkaev.
- Of course, - answers passengers. - I think there will be no problems ... Well, now we are all? .. Excellent. Productively worked ... Thank you all and goodbye!
Petrov blinks several times to return to the objective reality, then rises and slowly wander to the exit. At the exit, the Lenochka catches it.
- Can I ask you yet? - Red, says Lenochka. - When you inflate the ball ... Can you inflate it in the form of a kitten? ..
Petrov sighs.
"I can," he says. - I can absolutely everything. I'm professional.
Which are not only universal projects equipped with different methods of development of society, but also methods for solving various kinds of creative tasks. "Seven red lines" is one of these non-trivial tasks. We look at the game setting:)
In the game-viewed game film "Expert on Red Lines" stands on the traditional positions of modern. The positions of the European science of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century. He operates with the concepts of "geometry", "Truth", "contradictory judgments", "Rules", "Direct". The expert puts the customer in a dead end. Obviously, perceiving it through the lens of traditional scientific judgments, he considers it a stupid fool. Exactly the same level of stupidity of a designer who asks him to inflate a red ball in the form of a kitten.
The expert is not able to solve this task, otherwise how to deceive the customer. He took advantage of the poor-quality identity of the concepts of "transparency of lines" and "lack of lines", to simplify the task before the trivial decision. But most likely it does not pass this number, since the customer asked him to still draw it apart from five transparent lines and two red perpendicular to two green lines that are perceived as red.
Thus, the video puts the question not about the stupidity of the customer. After all, the customer is known to "always right" for he pays money! The video sets the question of the adequacy of the position of the "expert on red lines".
After all, even the name itself - "expert on red lines" speaks of terribly increased specialization of sciences, about the danger of destroying the most building of science in the tendency of this catastrophic specialization.
What can the expert offer and what is not suitable for solving the problem?
- Determination of perpendicularity of direct in classical geometry
- The impossibility of the existence of more than two mutually perpendicular straight lines on the plane.
- The independence of the concept of color from the concept of the line form
- Qualitative difference in straight lines and lines of curves and lines of closed, forming a figure (kittens, bird and triangle)
- Understanding that he, his boss and customer stand in the uniform positions of modern, science. What if they say nonsense, then it is only from the weakness of their intelligence and ignorance and nothing more.
Regarding the nonilities of the "expert on red lines" in the fifth point, we bring a phrase of the customer: "ignore geometry!" The statement shows that the customer and bosses stand in other positions than modern. They are waiting for the "Red Line Expert" began to solve the task standing in this position. For this position, the first four points approved by the expert are completely unimportant.
So what is this position. Postmodern! One of the postmodern properties:« Postmodernism professing radical eclecticism, seeking to compress unsecast, unite the facts on the principle of the association, and not on the principle of logical retention»
Postmodernism, here, is the method of a public development project, postmodern. The customer requires to connect an unsecast green color with red, red with a "transparent", straight with a figure, multiple mutually perpendicularity with a two-dimensional plane. This is a challenge, responding to which, from the standpoint of classical science, the expert "Running".
The roller caused a huge response to the network and many proposed solutions.
The solution associated with the mutation of science itself, modern, suggests a transition to a multidimensional measurement, M.B. Using non-classical geometry and further projection of all this economy on the trivial plane. The complexity of this solution is that adequacy can only be understood that such a multidimensionality of the space is that Lobachevsky geometry is. And such people can be less than dalconics. In any case, this is not the target audience of the customer! But nevertheless, I will quote this decision:
Option "on Lobachevsky in the pipe"
This task can be solved not only on the plane. But with the help of Lobachevsky geometry.
You can fill the space with correct squares, you can solve on the sphere.Option "on Lobachevsky in a pipe" Fig. one
To be clearer - I'll turn the ball a little.
And if you combine the sphere and the pipe, then we can draw almost infinite many perpendicular red lines of green.
The main problem of this method is the need to attract specialists in the field of higher mathematics, the use of nehonklide geometries, possibly finservoic geometry.
In essence, this method requires serious work in the field of client education. It may take 5-6 years to be able to understand what they did for him.
Some mathematical abstractions will simply be unable to portray. At best, it will require enough labor-intensive production of an experienced model.
***********************
Option "Brain Explosion"
The fact is that the customer in the techman did not say that he needed a decision in the Euclidean space.
Therefore, the decision may lie in non-child 7-dimensional space.
The option is similar to Lobachevsky in the pipe, but here more than the highest mathematics and mathematical abstraction can be depicted solely schematically.
If the Customer insists on a simple available figure - you need to ask it for this to provide 7-dimensional paper leaves and color pencils.
Comment: Clean example of mutating science in collusion with business. The customer cannot provide seven-dimensional paper leaves. That is, this is a theoretical model that does not have experienced confirmation that destroys the foundation of classical science. Postmodern - Killer Science and Modern.
In addition to mutating modern, there are solutions precisely within the framework of postmodern, which "connects unsecast" and implies a total "death of the author" of any text. Here are these solutions:
Option "Children's Casual Science"
"- perpendicular to what? - Specifies the "Expert on Red Lines".
Morkovayeva begins to view his papers.
"Uh," she finally said. - Well, how ... everything. Between themselves. Well, or how there ... I do not know. I thought it was you know what perpendicular lines are, - finally it is. "
Here it is a key error. In the original technical lady, nothing was said about the mutual perpendicularity of all lines.
Do not need.
Thus, we draw one line and 6 perpendicular to it.
Problem with color. How to portray a green red line or transparent?
And you ever heard the term "dotted line" - here's your decision.
Two dotted lines will show that they are green, and two will show that they are transparent.
The main problem of this option is if the customer will specify that the lines must be mutually perpendicular to each other. Then you cover.
Although you can try to negotiate - MB The customer will agree that perpendicular will be all the lines in pairs, you can even 50/50. Half will be perpendicular to each other, and half parallel.
You can also try that the part is not parallel to each other (but then the number of person perpendicularity will also decrease).
Comment:
The principle "connect intact" is implemented in the dotted line, and unfounded, if not to interpret the particular author of the case market. That is, to implement the "murder of the author of the text." Special interpretation of text is the absence of complete inter-perpendicularity requirements. And this is the possibility of not clarifying the text from the author, and the ability to "cut down a profit" with the conviction of the customer, the author of the bulk, that their task was so and delivered.
***********************
Option "Naked King"
This is a more obvious option. We draw two red perpendicular lines. The rest are drawing transparent color (and green red lines too).
The main problem of this option is that the customer can change the bulk and ask all the lines to make opaque. Then you cover.
Comment:
The principle of "murder of the author of the text" is implemented in manipulating the filarity of the scope of the transparency of lines. From the oddicness, we make a clear interpretation, naturally for trivial execution of the order and receiving money for the execution of the order.
***********************
Option "White Square" Expert on Red Lines "A"
The essence of this option is that the line is in fact - it is long without width. Therefore, you draw all lines with zero width (and red, and green, and transparent).
The main problem of this option lies in the fact that the customer may ask you to draw a lines of a width different from zero. Then you cover.
Comment: The principle of "murder of the author of the text" is implemented in manipulating the odorility of the area of \u200b\u200bthe concept of the concept of the line. The concept of "lines width" is attacked here. From the fuzzy we make a ringing coin.
***********************
The fact is that "expert on red lines" is mistaken. Perpendicular can be three straight - in space. But in a certain plane and other lines will also be perpendicular.
Roughly speaking, we will have two three mutually perpendicular lines and another line that may also be perpendicular to something.
For an unpretentious customer - this option is an excellent solution to his task.
After working for more than one year in the field of IT, namely served clients, solved their needs with phones, computers, domestic honey servers, I came across video surfactants with completely different tasks. Today is a small note in the section humor Just about customers, superiors and specialists who are fulfilled.
Not rare customers set tasks that are practically not fulfilled. Yes, just in the field of IT technologies of impracticable tasks practically do not exist, but there are not fulfilled tasks at certain frames. For instance:
- I want for a week for a medasever based on AppleTV. The software component must be written on AppleScript. The staff of programmers - 2 pcs, and then that 80% of time are engaged in other, no less important things.
- Make a video surveillance of five cameras for $ 100
- I want a quick Internet outside the city, I do not want a lot of pays for satellite Internet.
Just best describe this request of the roller that I found on the Internet. It has everything:
- A guide that cannot understand why the project cannot be implemented. Also, the leadership presses on a specialist, because he thinks that he is tupit.
- The client who wants the impossible and insists on this, thinking, as well as the manual that a specialist is tupit.
- A specialist who is trying by all means to convey both to the first and until the second that it is in principle impossible.
Happy viewing.
For those who watched the video, he noted such a game of actors, I can offer a design selection that allegedly solves the tasks outlined by the client.
In this embodiment, everything is certainly good, but not all lines are perpendicular to each other. There are parallel, but again, there is a funny kitten 🙂
In this embodiment, it is not clear what is meant under the "transparent lines" .3 lines perpendicular to the 4th other lines. those. The condition that all lines are perpendicular to each other are not fulfilled. And as in the first version there is no kitten 🙂
The decision is very interesting with its untouzing, because the condition does not say that the lines should not bend. But with green the problem ...
As for me, this is the best option. Much more beautiful and clearer than the previous one, and it seems to be all the conditions.
As always I will be happy to hear your opinion in the comments
To clarify the condition of the task, I found the original text. The author was someone Alexey Berezin, a blogger. Anything, but there is one subtlety. In the original text there is one place that unambiguously indicates the author's design:
"Perpendicular can be two lines," Petrov patiently. - All seven simultaneously cannot be perpendicular to each other. This is a geometry, grade 6. "
That is, it was assumed that it would be seven direct, but the author used the word "line". Especially or attense, now it is no longer important, most of the pathos and inadequacy lost the task. It would be prospectful if it was a corey translation from English, where Line means both "line" and "straight". The line is not direct. But what is done, then done.
And it also gave rise to many formally loyal, but ugly solutions.
Just put a screenshot of the search engine upon request "seven red lines". As you can see - the quality of creativity is not the highest.
Determine the TK like:
1. Seven straight red lines.
2. All these straight lines are mutually perpendicular
3. Two these lines are green.
4. Three - transparent.
5. One of the direct lines in the form of a cat (any).
I confess, the first thought was to use Lobachevsky geometry. Such solutions are not enough. Here, see what beautiful SCOTT Williamson offers on a flashed ribbon.
And although it uses in solving red paper, but still questions remain to green red. And with transparent red there, too, not everything is so unambiguous as I would like.
In the usual world, it is possible to spend only three mutually perpendicular straight lines. We must come up with something that will allow four more. It will be obvious that it is not necessary to limit the three dimensions, you can use more. For example - seven. Then in the seven-dimensional space task has a simple solution.
A little more complicated with green red lines. To do this, they should approach the observer at some speed sufficient to occur the Doppler effect. A little formula ...
Take a simplified formula for speeds a lot less than the speed of light, we only appreciate the order of magnitude.
v \u003d CZ.
where Z is the coefficient calculated by the formula
z \u003d (λ - λ °) / λ
where λ is the wavelength of the visible color, λ ° is the wavelength of the original color.
The red color will have a wavelength of about 700 nm.
Green, respectively, 500 nm.
It turns out, the rate of rapprochement will be about 0.3 from the speed of light. Theoretically quite possible speed. Everything is fine here ...
Further assumptions becomes more. For the following three dimensions in which red (straight) lines have been carried out, they do not interact with electromagnetic radiation. Accordingly, the straight red lines in them will be invisible (transparent).
And the most important thing! Let one of the measurements, not interacting with electromagnetic radiation, can be designed to our three-dimensional world and its projection takes the form of a cat. But since it is invisible, then invisible and cat. By analogy with Schrödinger's cat, I propose to call it a carrot cat.
I finally wanted to make all the above in the form of continuing the story:
"Remembering the past meeting, Petrov is preparing for a long time. For every question and any objection, he now has something to say.
"Colleagues," Petrov looks at the gathered at the table, smiles and corrects glasses, "the task was close to unresolved, almost at the very border with impossible.
Injustmen looks at him with enthusiasm, Morkovyev - skeptically, and the Lenochka tries to understand why she is here again. Sidoryakhin is absent by illness.
- But I managed to solve it! - Says Petrov and looks victious. In his view glitters the madness fire.
Lenochka suddenly yells and nicely embarrassed.
Here! - Petrov solemnly shows the image.
Everyone is watching.
- But why are there only two of them? - Markovyev is surprised, - should be ...
- Not! Petrov objects, - their seven here, in full compliance with your technical task.
- With which? - Morkovayev leafs through paper, it can be seen that she no longer remembers exactly what was with the task.
"With yours," smiles Petrov, "seven red, perpendicular to each other of straight lines, two red, two green, three - transparent color and one in the shape of a cat.
"Catics, yes," the lenochka smiles. She is nice that her fantasy was remembered.
Injustmen surprised with the image on the carrot and back.
- The task has a strict solution only in a multidimensional ... - begins by Petrov.
"I don't understand," can't stand the departure, "but why are there two?"
- Let's later questions, "Petrov says," if they remain you, you can ask them at the end. "
- Yes, perhaps, disagreement agrees. It can be seen that he is dissatisfied.
- What you see is a projection of solving this task in seven-dimensional space on a two-dimensional. Just the same two red straight lines that must be red.
- Fine, - says the depths, - and where are the rest?
- The rest, "says Petrov, looking into the notebook," I had to draw in measurements that do not belong to our space and can not always be in it even in the form of projection, for example, those two red lines that are constantly approaching us at a speed of approximately 0 , 3 speeds of light.
Morkovay's eyes begin to move to the nose. Injustmen appeared in search of the approaching lines and spaces, he throws it.
"For us, these red lines will look green," says Petrov, "but will present what will happen to our space when these measurements come here?"
- It is not necessary to pump, - the departures will be hooked. He wants to say something else, but not.
- Then everything is simple, "says Petrov, - three of the following red lines are drawn in measurements that do not interact with electromagnetic radiation. Therefore, we cannot see them, they are absolutely transparent for us.
- And that is not all! - Petrov winks the Lenochka, one of these measurements projected into our measurement takes the form of a cat. True, we cannot see him, so this ... Yes, this is the idea of \u200b\u200ba cat shape, the ideal realization of the form of a cat.
Lenochka smiles embarrassed.
- ask questions, "says Petrov.
Inways inappreciantly translates with carrot on the lamb and back. The eyes of the carrot came to the nose, the lady smiles embarrassed.
"If there are no questions, then I finished," Petrov slightly. "
Petrov came on Tuesday to the meeting. He was on the brain there, laid out on the sortsicles and began to eat, smoking and generally expressing all approval. The head of Petrova, depths, prudently distributed by the dessert spoons present. And began.
"Colleagues," Morkovyeva says, "a large-scale task arose before our organization. We entered the implementation of the project, in which we need to portray several red lines. Are you ready to take this task for yourself?
"Of course," said depths. He is director, and always ready to take over the problem, which will have to carry someone from the team. However, he immediately clarifies: - We can?
Head of Drawing Department Sidoryin Hurry Torch:
- Yes, sure. Here we are just sitting by Petrov, he is our best specialist in the field of drawing red lines. We specifically invited him to the meeting so that he express his competent opinion.
"Very nice," says Morovkaev. - Well, you all know me. And this is the Lenochka, she is a specialist in design in our organization.
Lenochka is covered with paint and smiles embarrassed. She recently finished economic, and the design has the same attitude as WKONKOS to the design of airship.
"So," says Morovkaev. - We need to draw seven red lines. All of them must be strictly perpendicular, and moreover, some need to draw green, and some more - transparent. What do you think it is real?
"No," Petrov says.
"Let's not hurry with the answer, Petrov," says Sidoryakhin. - The task is delivered, and it needs to be solved. You are a professional, Petrov. Do not let us assume that you are not a professional.
"You see," Petrov explains, "the term" red line "implies that the color of the line is red. Draw a red line in green not that it is impossible, but very close to the impossible ...
- Petrov, what does it mean "impossible"? - asks Sidoryakhin.
- I just find a situation. Perhaps there are people who suffer from daltonism, for whom it really will not have the values \u200b\u200bof the line color, but I'm not sure that the target audience of your project is exclusively of such people.
- That is, in principle, this is possible, we understand you correctly, Petrov? - asks Morovkaev.
Petrov is aware that it moved with the imagery.
"Let's say easier," he says. - Line, as such, can be drawn completely in any color. But to get a red line, only red color should be used.
- Petrov, you do not confuse us, please. Just you said it is possible.
Petrov silently curses his chatty.
- No, you misunderstood me. I just wanted to say that in some, extremely rare situations, the color of the line will not matter, but even then - the line will not still be red. You see, she will not be red! She will be green. And you need red.
There is a short silence, in which the quiet tense buzz of synapses is clearly heard.
- And what if, - an autumn idea, pronounces depths, - draw them in blue?
"It will not work anyway," Petrov shakes. - If you draw blue - it turns out blue lines.
Silence again. This time, Petrov himself interrupts him.
- And I have not yet understood ... What did you mean when they spoke about the lines of transparent color?
Morkovayeva looks at him condescendingly as a kind teacher on the lagging student.
- Well, how do you explain? .. Petrov, don't you know what is "transparent"?
- And what is the "red line", I hope you also do not need to explain?
- No, no need.
- Here you go. You draw us red lines with transparent color.
Petrov for a second freezes, thinking about the situation.
- And how should the result look, please, please describe? How do you imagine that?
- Well, ya, petro-oh! - says Sidoryakhin. - Well, let's not ... Do we have a kindergarten? Who is a specialist in red lines, carrots or you?
- I'm just trying to clarify for myself the details of the task ...
- Well, what's wrong with something? .. - Nedosaytsev is engaged in the conversation. - You know what a red line is?
- Yes, but ...
- And what is "transparent", are you clear too?
- Of course, but ...
- So what do you explain something? Petrov, well, let's not go down to unproductive disputes. The task is set, the task is clear and clear. If you have specific questions, so ask.
"You're a professional," adds Sidoryakhin.
"Okay," Petrov surrender. - God with him, with color. But do you have something else with perpendicularity? ..
"Yes," Morkovieva confirms readily. - seven lines, all strictly perpendicular.
- Perpendicular to what? - Specifies Petrov.
Morkovayeva begins to view his papers.
"Uh," she finally said. - Well, how ... everything. Between themselves. Well, or how there ... I do not know. I thought it was you know what perpendicular lines are, - finally she is.
"Of course he knows," Sidoryin cheats his hands. - Are we here, or not professionals? ..
- Perpendicular to two lines can be, - Petrov patiently. - All seven simultaneously cannot be perpendicular to each other. This is geometry, grade 6.
Morkovayeva shakes his head, drivening out the ghost of the long forgotten school education. Injustmen slaps palm on the table:
- Petrov, let's without this: "Grade 6, grade 6". Let's be mutually polite. We will not make hints and sliding to insults. Let's support a constructive dialogue. Here, not idiots gathered.
"I think so too," Sidoryahin says.
Petrov makes a piece of paper.
"Good," he says. - Let's, I draw you. Here is the line. So?
Morovkovayev's approved nods.
"Draw another ..." says Petrov. - Is she perpendicular to the first?
- Yes, it is perpendicular.
- Well, you see! Morkovyev's joyfully exclaims.
- Wait, it's not all. Now we draw a third ... is it perpendicular to the first line? ..
Thoughtful silence. Without waiting for a response, Petrov answers himself:
- Yes, she is perpendicular to the first line. But with the second line it does not intersect. With the second line they are parallel.
Silence comes. Then Morkovayeva rises from his place and, having rebuilt the table, enters Petrov from the rear, looking at his shoulder.
"Well ..." she utters uncertainly. - Maybe yes.
- That's the thing, "says Petrov, seeking to consolidate the achieved success. - While two lines, they can be perpendicular. As soon as they become more ...
- Can I handle me? - asks Morkovyev.
Petrov gives a handle. Morkovayeva gently spends several unsure lines.
- And if so?..
Petrov sighs.
- This is called a triangle. No, these are not perpendicular lines. In addition, there are three of them, and not seven.
Morkovayeva mans his lips.
- Why are they blue? - Suddenly asks for departures.
- Yes, by the way, it supports Sidoryakhin. - I wanted to ask himself.
Petrov blinks several times, looking at the drawing.
"I have a blue handle," he finally says. - I'm just to demonstrate ...
"It turns out the same thing," Petrov says confidently.
- Well, how is the same? - Says depths. - How can you be sure if you did not even try? You draw red, and see.
"I have no red handle with me," Petrov admits. - But I can absolutely ...
- And what you did not prepare, Sidoryakhin says ukriznarly. - I knew that there would be a meeting ...
"I absolutely can tell you exactly," Petrov says in despair, "that in red it turns out exactly the same thing."
- You ourselves said to us last time, - Sidoryakhin parches, - what to draw red lines is needed in red. Here, I recorded myself even. And you yourself draw them a blue handle. Is that red lines in your opinion?
"By the way, yes," notes the depths. - I still asked you about blue. What did you answer me?
Petrova suddenly saves the lenochka, with interest studying his drawing from his seat.
"I think I understand," she says. - You are not talking about color now, yes? Do you have this about this, how do you call it? Perperotes-something-there?
"Perpendicularity of lines, yes," Petrov speaks gratefully. - It is not connected with the color of the lines.
"Everything, you confused me finally," says the depths, translating the view from one member of the meeting to another. - So with us with what problems? With color or perpendicularity?
Morkovayeva makes confused sounds and shakes his head. She also confused.
"And with the fact, and with another," Petrov says quietly.
"I can't understand anything," says the depths, looking at his fingers lurked into the castle. - There is a task. You need only seven red lines. I understand that there would be twenty! .. But then there are only seven. The task is simple. Our customers want seven perpendicular lines. Right?
Morkovyev nods.
"And Sidoryakhin also does not see the problem," says the depths. - I'm right, Sidoryakhin? .. Well. So what prevents us from performing the task?
"Geometry," Petrov says with a sigh.
- Well, you just do not pay attention to it, that's all! - Pronounces Morkovieva.
Petrov is silent by going with thoughts. In his brain, one for other colorful metaphors would be born, which would allow to bring to those surrounding the surrealism of what is happening, but as it was called, all of them, enjoying the words, begin in the word "fucking!", Completely inappropriate as part of a business conversation.
Charter waiting for a response, inconsistencies say:
- Petrov, you will just answer - you can do or you can't? I understand that you are a narrow specialist and do not see the overall picture. But it is easy - to draw some seven lines? We are discussing for two hours some kind of nonsense, we can't come to the decision.
"Yes," says Sidoryain. - You just criticize and say: "Impossible! Impossible! " You offer us your solution to the problem! And then criticize and the fool can, sorry for the expression. You are a professional!
Petrov is tired of saying:
- Okay. Let me draw two guaranteed perpendicular red lines, and the rest are transparent. They will be transparent, and they will not be visible, but I will draw them. Does it suit you?
- This will suit us? - Morovkov turns around to the Lenochka. - Yes, we will satisfy us.
- Only at least a couple - green, - adds the lenochka. - And I also have such a question, you can?
- Can one line portray in the form of a kitten?
Petrov is silent for a few seconds, and then asks:
- Well, in the form of a kitten. Kitten. Our users like animals. It would be very cool…
"No," Petrov says.
- And why?
- No, I certainly can draw you a cat. I'm not an artist, but I can try. Only it will not be a line. It will be a cat. Line and cat are different things.
- Kitten, - clarifies Morovkaev. - Not a cat, but a kitten, so small, cute. Cats, they ...
"Yes, it's still," Petrov shakes.
"At all in no way, yes? .." Lenochka asks disappointed.
"Petrov, you would even listen to the end," the causticians say irritably. - did not hear, and already say no.
"I understood the thought," not raising his look from the table, says Petrov. " - Draw a line in the form of a kitten is impossible.
- Well, do not then, - Allows the Lenochka. - And the bird will not work either?
Petrov silently raises her glance and the lady understands everything.
"Well, don't then," she repeats again.
Injudice slaps palm on the table.
- So what are we staying on? What are we doing?
- Seven red lines, "says Morovkaev. - Two red, and two green, and the rest are transparent. Yes? I understood correctly?
"Yes," confirms Sidoryakhin before Petrov, he has time to open his mouth.
There are no goodwire.
- That's fine ... Well, then, all, colleagues? .. Are you going? .. There are more questions? ..
- Oh, - remembers the Lenochka. - We still have a red balloon! Tell me, can you inflate it?
- Yes, by the way, "says Morkovieva. - Let's also discuss this too to not be collected twice.
"Petrov," the depths of depths to Petrov turns. - We can?
- What does the ball have a ball? - Petrov asks surprise.
"He's red," explains the Lenochka.
Petrov stupidly silent by fading the tips of the fingers.
"Petrov," unsteady ask nervously. - So you can or can't you? The simple question.
"Well," Petrov says carefully, "in principle, I certainly can, but ...
- Good, - nods the depths. - Take a trip to them, inflate. Traveling, if necessary, divert.
- Tomorrow can be? - asks Morovkaev.
- Of course, - answers passengers. - I think there will be no problems ... Well, now we are all? .. Excellent. Productively worked ... Thank you all and goodbye!
Petrov blinks several times to return to the objective reality, then rises and slowly wander to the exit. At the exit, the Lenochka catches it.
- Can I ask you yet? - Red, says Lenochka. - When you inflate the ball ... Can you inflate it in the form of a kitten? ..
Petrov sighs.
"I can," he says. - I can absolutely everything. I'm professional.
