The World's Simplest Impossible Problem. Moler, C. 1:92036v00+. Paper abstract bibtex If the average of two numbers is three, what are the numbers? The solution to this problem is not unique, and the problem is ill-defined, but that does not mean that MATLAB® cannot solve it. [] In this article from 1990, Cleve Moler explores this simple yet impossible problem and others like it using MATLAB to find answers with the fewest nonzero components and other ” nice” solutions.
