Mainly Mattias Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 A farmer challenges an engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician to fence off the largest amount of area using the least amount of fence. The engineer made his fence in a 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? Link to comment

Mainly Mattias Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 yep! that's it! You're given 100 marbles(50 white and 50 black) and two empty boxes. You need to place all the marbles in two boxes. A marble will be picked from any of the two box and if the marble is black, you will be hired. Conditions: * No box can be empty. * All 100 marbles must be placed in one of the two boxes. What should you do? Link to comment
