He's a person.

The tree will burn down.

A rescue helicopter sees the fire and saves him?

Burns down the east side of the forest first?

Correct

Riddle:

 

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?

The mathematician build a round fence like theengineer but a lot smaller and then the mathematician entered the circle, claiming that actually, he and this small circle were on the outside.

Correct!

This week's game will be mad libs! We are in the process of getting the stories setup. The first one will be ready tonight or tomorrow morning...start thinking about what words you want to add! There must be two people in between a second guess. (Ex: Cindy gives an answer, then Rheaand Theo both add one, then Cindy can add another answer)

Ok here's the title: George The Purple Platypus.

I need an adjective

Silky

Got it!

Seeing as activity is low, you may submit an answer back to back.

Yay!
