They were flying when suddenly the pilot's voice crackled over the intercom: 'We've got serious engine trouble, we are going to crash and there are only three parachutes. I have a wife and family who need me, so I'm taking one of the parachutes. Goodbye!' And he jumped out, leaving the others.

Immediately, one of the teenagers said: 'Actually, I have to tell you that I am the brightest, most clever young man in the world. The world needs me. I am already a great scientist and I may well invent the cure for cancer. So I'm taking a parachute. Goodbye!' And he jumped out.
