Attack or Retreat

Military leaders try to build a computer, that able to solve any strategic or tactical problem.

They are assembled in front of the new machine and instructed to feed a difficult tactical problem into it.

They describe a hypothetical situation to the computer and then ask the pivotal question: attack or retreat?

The computer hums away for an hour and then comes up with the answer:

"Yes."

The generals look at each other, somewhat stupefied. Finally one of them submits a second request to the computer:

"Yes what?"

Instantly the computer responded:

"Yes Sir."
