A Team Of Engineers Were Required To Measure The Height Of A Flag Pole.

HomeShort JokesScience Humor

A team of engineers were required to measure the height of a flag
pole. They only had a measuring tape, and were getting quite
frustrated trying to keep the tape along the pole. It kept falling
down, etc.

A mathematician comes along, finds out their problem, and proceeds to
remove the pole from the ground and measure it easily.

When he leaves, one engineer says to the other: "Just like a
mathematician! We need to know the height, and he gives us the
length!"
