A student challenged an engineer, a mathematician and a physicist to see which could enclose the largest amount of area with the smallest amount of fence.
Each was convinced they had the best answer.
The engineer made the fence in a big circle and proclaimed his answer the best.
The physicist made a long line and said, inexplicably, that the fence length was infinite. Then he said that fencing half of the Earth is the best answer
The mathematician made a small fence around himself, then declared himself outside of the fence.
Where is your fence?
