You are overthinking it. This is just a premise to setup the joke that an engineer deals with approximation while the other two give up because they’ll never reach 0.
It could be a bowl of ice cream for all that matters, but people like corny jokes, so that’s it.
I don’t think it’s the same joke when it’s three turtles or a goat, because the joke is “I think I can get close enough…to engage in unspecified sex acts with this woman.”
You think the same chemicals that turned the frickin frogs gay is responsible for this aversion to sexual thoughts? “Could it not be a naked woman? That clutches my pearls.”
The mathematician is naked, something about pure and direct truth. The physicist is wearing a bow tie, chippendale cuffs and a banana hammock. The engineer has on his new invention: Assful chaps.
Is it really that confusing? If it had said there was a pot of gold the implication is clear that the person who reaches it will be rich. You ask “why a nude woman?” and the answer is simply because, just like being rich, desiring a sexual partner is a common desire.
For the joke to work.

Nope, had to be cakes out, specifically to piss off the people who get angry when they detect something men stereotypically enjoy.
Actually everyone listed in the joke is a lesbian…
Cakey snatch isn’t exactly my preferred choice but when in Rome.

Because a sexual relationship requires 2 people to touch, so it is a relatable setup.

Exactly, it’s the same joke regardless so why get bent out of shape over it?

A pot of gold explaining the rules to you about it ringing a bell would definitely be even more suspicious than a random naked woman.
It’s a pot of gold. Obviously there’s a leprechaun involved who will be presenting the riddle.

I thought it implied an erection.

It could be a research grant.

I have friends who are engineers and whose job is to turn theoretical research into applied projects to find research grants for their team.

Like a naked woman.

The engineer will never reach her, but his boner will.
