Kal: Your honor, at this time I would like to question the witness.

Judge (clenching his teeth): He's been sworn in. Proceed.

Kal: Mr. Stallone, you claim that at no time you exceeded 55 mph, is that correct?

Syl: Yo.

Kal: Furthermore, you state unequivicably that you traveled 96 miles in 1 hour and 36 minutes. Is that correct?

Syl: Yo.

Kal (fumbling with his calculator): Your honor, these statements are in contradiction. The defendant could not have traveled 55 mph or less for the entire trip. Mathematically, his average velocity was 96 miles divided by 1.6 hours. This works out to be an average velocity of 60 mph. We have ascertained his speed to be a differentiable function of time. By the mean value theorem of calculus, he must have traveled his average speed at some point of his journey. This would mean the accused traveled 60 mph at some point of his journey, a clear violation of the law.

Judge: Well, Mr. Stallone?

Syl (nervously fidgeting with the "I couldn't do Geometry in high school either" button on his shirt): I, uhhhh...., I mean, uh.........

Kal: Precisely, Mr. Stallone. You've been nabbed by a mean theorem, the mean value theorem that is. I rest my case.

Judge (with clenched teeth): Yea........Hang'em.
