....and my wife just did. She's a chemist, however, and here's the
tasteless (but not odorless) problem she got from her maillist today:

   A professor is teaching intro chemistry in a lecture hall
   with 100 rows of seats.  In the back of the room he
   releases hydrogen cyanide gas.  In the front of the room
   he releases nitrous oxide.  At which row will his students
   die laughing?
