Einstein loses the coin toss and has to be it.

The moment Einstein starts counting, Pascal runs and hides but Newton merely takes out a stick and traces a box about a meter by a meter in the dirt around him.

Einstein opens his eyes and says: "Ha, Newton I caught you!"

Newton says: "You didn't catch me, you caught Pascal!"

Yes, dimensional analysis humor.
