One of Einstein’s students asked him: “What does logic mean?”
Einstein said: “I will answer you with a question.”
“Suppose two workers enter a chimney to clean it. One comes out with a dirty face and the other with a clean face. Who will go wash their face?”
The student immediately and without hesitation replied, “Of course, the one with the dirty face.”
Einstein said: “Your answer is incorrect. The one who will wash their face is the one with the clean face, because he looked at his colleague’s face and assumed that his own face was as dirty as his colleague’s. The one with the dirty face will not wash his face, thinking it is clean like his colleague’s.”
The student said: “That is correct and logical.”
Einstein replied: “No, it is not correct, because the question itself is illogical. It is not logical for two men to enter the same chimney at the same time and for one to come out clean and the other dirty.”
In a few words, logic itself can collapse, so sometimes the problem is not in the answer but in the flawed question itself.

This is the first image captured of Chernobyl, taken 14 hours after the explosion on April 26, 1986.
The photo was snapped from a helicopter assessing radiation levels over the disaster area.
The image is grainy due to the intense radiation in the air, which began damaging the camera film as soon as it was exposed.
Igor Kostin, the photographer, found that the radiation affected his camera's motors after about 20 photos.
When he processed his films, only the image above was usable.
All other photos, affected by high radiation levels, came out completely black.
Kostin's visit to Chernobyl was not legal or approved by the authorities. The incident's news was largely hidden.
However, Kostin was later given permission to photograph the disaster site, the evacuation of residents in Pripyat, and the 30 km zone around the power plant.
His images helped reveal the catastrophe to the world.
Despite his closeness to the site, Kostin did not receive deadly amounts of radiation.
He died in a car crash in 2015 when he was 78.
