A Mungerilal & a stock fundamental analyst went to the racecourse. The Mungerilal suggested to bet Rs. 50,000 on a horse. The funda analyst was skeptical, saying that he wanted first to understand the rules, to look on horses, etc.
The Mungerilal whispered that he knew a secret algorithm for the success, but he could not convince the funda guy. "You are too theoretical," he said and bet on a horse.
Surely, that horse came first bringing him a lot of money. Triumphantly, he exclaimed: "I told you, I knew the secret!"
"What is your secret?" the funda analyst asked.
"It is rather easy. I have two kids, three and five year old. I sum up their ages and I bet on number nine."
"But, three and five is eight," the funda guy protested.
"I told you, you are too theoretical!" the Mungerilal replied, "Haven't I just shown experimentally that my calculation is correct?!"
