lie?

peace and/or relaxation

but not very strongly. your clue really confuses me!

contradiction

truth

but doesnt really work with your hints or most of the riddle for that matter. At a loss...

absolutes

but now??? need to jostle my train of thought

extremes

antagonist

Yeah, I can believe the practice part but would not sell yourself short re ability. Also saw your first response before I could edit it. Dont see how you navigate so fast, but guess that will come, too. As well as understanding how to edit my profile...

Excellent--

gravity

but the answer fits perfectly. Am just starting out /newbie and hope to get to the composing point eventually. Your ability to knock these out, Lotus, is most impressive...

oops...wrong post

Is it...

yes to John B, I could not rationalize the "seal" part with my answer. Well done.

farmer MacDonald

Am liking this riddle. Have been racking my brain.

camera.

But cant make the last line work.

a hurricane?

Would not trust my math but I got $128.42 by "spin" ploughing within the 100m x 100m and forgoing the corners and every other whatever the shape is called left by two circles and a line touching. By making 71 vertical paths only 99m long and 70 horizontal paths 1.414m.

Regardless, to me the solution is knowing the plough needs to spin.

Of course. Constantly spinning. Well done bonanova. One thought: To make 71 full length say north/south passes (parallel to your side B), doesn't it take just 70 east/west (along either border A or B) jogs?

The time line thing got me to thinking....

maybe it was not his wife that he killed the next morning at 7:00 a.m. His job is an executioner perhaps or worse he's a plain murderer?

$100.01

If the farmer ever crosses a path that he has already ploughed, it costs him $.01 in fuel. Conversely, regardless of the route he takes, if he never crosses his path, he makes the maximum. The maximum is $.02 x 10,000 sq. whatevers (forgot the measurment) or $200 less the cost of fuel. When he starts out the first square whatever does not cost him $.01 in fuel but the other 9,999 do so his fuel cost is $99.99. Net = $100.01?
