How many engineers does it take to change a tire?
Two weeks ago we had to take two consulting engineers to the JCMT so they make take measurements for a structural modification to the JCMT's A-Frame. In preparation for the arrival of SCUBA2 many modifications for the JCMT will be made.
SCUBA2 is the second generation of the recently decommissioned SCUBA (sub millimeter common user bolometer array) apparently one of the most revolutionary earth based ratio telescope instruments, used for looking at gas clouds and forming galaxies.
SCUBA2 is promised to do everything that SCUBA did, but 1000x faster, and with 10x more resolution; said to be comparable in scientific advancement as Hubble. It also weighs four tons, and the JCMT isn't really strong enough to support it.
And we got a flat tire...
PS... The answer is 4.

Are you counting yourself as one of the 4 engineers? Because I believe you are still 5/8 of an engineer technically making it only 3-5/8 Engineers to change a tire.
Be careful and wear sunscreen.
