Architect, Engineer and Mathematician Make a Fence

An architect, engineer and mathematician are all asked to use the same materials to make a fence encompassing the most space.

The architect goes about making a beautiful octagonal fence with scroll work at the top.

Engineer says: "Not bad. now watch this..." The engineer makes a fence perfectly round.

The mathematician says nothing and goes about constructing a very tiny fence just big enough for him to stand in.

The architect and engineer start laughing and tell the mathematician that there supposed to make a fence that encompass the MOST space, not the least.

The mathematician climbs into his fence and says: "I am now outside the fence"
