    but it's clear you have the answer.
  2. [spoiler=Too quick with the pencil, actually. ]Segment area is 150.79 - 62.35 = 88.44 Rope circle area is 452.389 Instead of subtracting 88.44 twice, I subtracted 62.35 twice. And apparently LichWriter did, also! The goat's grazing area is, as lazboy calculates, 452.389 - 2[88.44] = 275.504 which takes 2.258 hours to graze. It's always behind his mouth if he walks away from the tie point.

    Correct on one, slightly off on the other. Suggests that you may not have the code exactly right. Don't give up, look up; the clue is there.
  4. Sure there is. The coordinates of where the goat finished are material. But it's not because he finished grazing there.

    Object is to find the code and then fill in the blanks: Words #7 * Shakeepuddn 2 DUPLEX 0 SUCCESS 7 ABROAD 3 LEGROOM 5 BOOZER _ GUMDROP _ TELEPHONE Words #8 * Jiminy Cricket 14 PUZZLES 16 FOODSTUFF 32 FEESTATEMENT 20 BOOKKEEPER 21 EXCESSES __ HAWAII __ VOODOO
  6. You're applying sin and cos formulas to triangles that are almost right triangles, giving you a result that is almost correct. If you look at the EW and NS coordinates of where the goat ended up, and drop perpendiculars to the sides of the field, then you have right triangles you can use.
  7. Farmer T apparently didn't switch doors bn is pondering the goat's munchings as he chides...

    You're both right - it's fiendishly elusive:

    No, sorry. Wish I could provide a clue, but.... I wrote them early in the morning and didn't write the answer down. I'll recognize the answer when someone suggests it, or when by some miracle I remember it myself.
  11. bonanova

    Nope. Look for subtle clue.

    With a salute to Grayven.

    It's easier than that. Final clue.

    On the other hand, if OP meant Moe must see 6 different numbers in a row, then we have a problem... At first glance it appears, that in this case May takes 6 turns while Moe takes one. But it is not so. Moe does not have a fixed position from which to start counting his 6 consecutive rolls. Let's say, the rolls 1 through 6 did not reach the objective, then it is still possibe for the rolls 2 through 7, or 3 through 8, and so on. Prime has it. Moe sees his numbers first.
