Ok, for the more mathematically inclined in the group, lets take this one step further. Assuming the distance between the donkeys left legs and right legs is 30 cm how many times does the donkey walk around the circular path?
Hmm, I posted this about 24 hours ago, and no one has responded yet. Isnt anyone interested? This really isnt too difficult.
Hint: Remember, one pair of legs walks 40 km, while the other walks 41 km.
Well, my puzzle has not attracted any interest, so Ill give the solution and we can move on.
Solution: In order for the distances to be 40 and 41 km the ratio of the radii of the two circles must be 40:41. Since their difference is 30 cm, the inner radius is 12 meters and the outer is 12.3. This means the donkey needs to make just over 530.5 circuits.
If anyone wants more details send me a private message.
