Someone in your engineering class who you mean a lot to and share many memories with. They really miss you when you are gone and don't know what to do without you. They can't wait until the next time they get to see you.

Engineers, a flask of poison, and a radioactive source are placed in a sealed all-hands meeting. If an internal monitor detects radioactivity (i.e., a single atom decaying), the flask is shattered, releasing the poison that kills the engineers.
The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that after a while, the engineers are simultaneously alive and dead.
