you have a farm field in Canada that has an perimiter of 2800 feet.

the farm field is fenced off in a manner so that it has 35 corners.

in each corner a farmer has placed a stack of hay.

if you take 34 of the stacks of hay and pile them on top of the 35th stack... how many stacks of hay do you have total in the farmers field?

Invalid question. This is Nebraska you're talking about.

Invalid question. This is presumably Saskatchewan you're talking about.:haha:

Well, to hazard a guess, I'd say one gargantuan stack of hay...

You have none, obviously stacking hay in such an irresponsible manner will get it torched by hooligans in short order

What kind of hay are we talking about, here? Dry hay, wet hay, hey there?

Also, could you present us with a diagram of the 35 cornered field?

What part of Canada? Farmland isn't divided the same way in different parts of the country. (F... you, 9 grade geography, for ruining acres of my brain with useless crap.)


(Fun trivia fact: Hay has a UN number, and is considered a dangerous good when carried aboard a ship. The more you know! (See above 9th grade rant, apply to nautical school.))

Ah, and I thought you were answering in the context of the question...

Completely forgot how overrated context really is :O:

Sorry, it's 02:58, I can't really remember important facts of life right now
