Asif -- I am getting a different result for test problem 6.

David Hill on 21 Feb 2020

I got the same answer as you. I think it is correct.

@william
in test 6,there will be an overlap. if u consider that, i think it should be ok.
i'll add some more test cases like that.

William on 21 Feb 2020

Ooops! I didn't consider that.

If the rope is so longer than the rectangle barn and the cow can turn round and round, 3 of "4 quadrants" does not increase the grazing area, it is just 3/4 sector of a circle. The problem is 1 of 4 quadrants.
