A farmer challenges an engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician to fence off the largest amount of area on earth using the least amount of fence.
The engineer made his fence in a large circle and said it was the most efficient.
The physicist made a long line and said that the length was infinite. Then he said that fencing half of the Earth was the best.
The mathematician laughed at the others and with his design, beat the others. What did he do?

He made a small circle around him, fencing off the whole Earth and leaving only himself inside.
He made a very small fence and said that it was actually fencing off all the world expect for that little circle
Made a small fence around himself,and then used as an axiom that he was outside the fenced area. Proof is obvious.
A pole with a hole.
