263 grammar

[FrankTruman]

While I was perusing the later problems with grandeur thoughts of being able to solve them, I noticed something that struck my eye in problem 263. The phrase "An engineers' dream come true" only makes sense if engineers' is singular (unless you're talking about a dream that is shared by all engineers). It's also used this way in the definition - "an engineers' paradise." I just didn't know if this was intentional or not.

I think the dream belongs to all engineers. There are many dreams shared by all engineers and this is one of them. It is not the dream of a certain engineer. With that said I have solved this problem and could not spot the connection to the title, but I still suppose it's better than 'Find the first four sexy primes such that ..."

The team discussed that too and decided it should be a dream that is shared by all engineers.
We thought than "an engineer's dream" would be too selfish.
