3/6 and 4/6 [hint: letters are not repeated in words.]

Yes. There is an even stronger argument for the answer to your first question. Can you find it?

and E: bingo Q: 4/6

My bad G: 2/6 Y: 3/6 [double checked]

And thanks for letting me know about this! 1/6 and 4/6

5 out of 6.

An ant stands in a fenced triangular field 1 meter on a side. The fences are painted, respectively: red, white and blue. With really nothing else to do, the ant walks to each of the three fences; he returns to his starting point after each fence is visited. If his starting point is randomly chosen, how far would we expect the ant would walk if he takes the shortest possible route?

Nope - but now you know. That's 3 words - nice going.

2 out of 3.

then simply square rooting it gives the lengths of each side which are 5.6568542494923801952067548968388 meters by 5.6568542494923801952067548968388 meters please explain Stonewall's answer for the area is correct. Your answer for the length of the side of the square field is also correct.

if it is a square then all the sides must be the same if this is the case then stonewalls field is 5.6568542494923801952067548968388 meters by 5.6568542494923801952067548968388 meters somehow this doesnt seem likely do you mean rectangular? Consecutive = say Northwest, Northeast, Southeast. That's the right value for the side of the field. Square it.

Nope. The field is flat.

Bingo.

Not quite, close.

Correct. One off-beat word bites the dust. Couple more to go.

An ant stands 7, 5 and 1 meters, respectively, from consecutive corners of a square field. How big is his field?

Hoping Professor T does not mind my giving a try at his genre. Six-letter words, no plurals, repeated letters or proper names. Highlighting the 4s and 5s. Look for a clue. One or two off-beat words perhaps, but the clue should help. ---------------- .

If every game has no favorite it's .565. But that's not realistic. No 16 seed has ever beaten a 1 seed. Last year there was at least one perfect bracket.

Interesting but ... why? Edit ... ok.
