Boundary Troika



          Boundary Troika


The Three Stooges surveyed the boundary between Athens and Sparta.

Moe said: point A belongs to Sparta, point B belongs to Sparta, and there is no boundary between the two points.
Larry said: point A belongs to Athens, point B belongs to Athens, and there is no boundary between the two points.
Curly said: point A belongs to Athens, point B belongs to Sparta, and there is a boundary between the two points.

Therefore they decide by 2/3 majorities:
* Point A belongs to Athens
* Point B belongs to Sparta
* There is no boundary between the two points.
Yet they all agree that Athens is not Sparta!
