Asif -- I am getting a different result for test problem 6.
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.
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.
I'm also not sure that the last test case is in fact correct. (And yes, I have considered the overlap.)
