Clue
IT WOULD TAKE 47 DAYS TO COVER HALF OF THE LAKE, AS THEY DOUBLE IN SIZE EVERY DAY
72CM. TH HEAD IS 9CM. THE TAIL IS 18 + 9= 27CM. THE BODY IS 9 + 18 + 9= 36CM. 9 + 27 + 36= 72CM
THE PATH WAS 5000 PACES LONG. IF THE PATH IS STRAIGHTENED OUT INTO A LINE, ITS AREA EQUALS THE AREA OF THE WHOLE SQUARE, THAT IS, 100 X 100 SQUARE PACES. DIVIDING THE RESULT BY THE WIDTH OF THE PATH GIVES THE LENGTH (OR THE SOLUTION)
NO, IT DOES NOT COLLAPSE. BECAUSE IT HAS DRIVEN A HALF MILE - YOU WOULD SUBTRACT THE GAS USED FROM THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE TRUCK
