23. A farmer has three sons...

A farmer has three sons, an engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician. They return from college and he assigns them chores. One is to construct a fence enclosing as large an area as possible using 20ft of wood fencing.

The engineer makes a 5×5 square and leaves, satisfied with his work.

The physicist, with a grin, makes a circle with a circumference of 20ft which obviously encloses more area than the engineer’s.

The mathematician simply grabs some fencing, wraps it all around his body, and says, “I define myself as outside the fence.”
