Debate about the
box
|An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician are trying to set up a fenced-in area for some sheep,
but they have a limited amount of building material. The engineer gets up first and makes a square fence
with the material, reasoning that it's a pretty good working solution. "No no," says the physicist,
"there's a better way." He takes the fence and makes a circular pen, showing how it encompasses the
maximum possible space with the given material.Then the mathematician speaks up: "No, no, there's an even
better way." To the others' amusement he proceeds to construct a little tiny fence around himself, then
declares:"I define myself to be on the outside."
