Donkey’s abnormal legs riddle
A donkey travels the exact same distance daily. Strangely 2 of his legs travels 40 kilometers and the remaining two travels 41 kilometers, Obviously 2 donkey legs cannot be a 1km ahead of the other 2.
The donkey is perfectly normal. So, how come this be true?
Travelling need not be in same direction. Assume a repeated to-and-fro walk between two points over a short distance. In this condition, in every trip, the hind legs will travel slightly less (say, a couple of feet, being the distance between the pairs of legs). When this movement is repeated many times, the shortage will add up.
Another (theoretical) possibility is a walk along a circular path. In this case, the legs on the inside of the path will travel less (because they move in a slightly smaller circle compared to the outer ones). But since the distance between the pairs of legs (right & left) is very small (a few inches only), it will be practically impossible to get a difference of 1 km.
moving in circle can be a solution.it depends on number of circles they can move and 40 km is big distance .you dont have to take big circles small are okay.
Moving in circle is the correct solution.
- 2 Inner legs travels lesser distance than the 2 outer legs
Moving in circle IS, of course, A solution. But it can’t be claimed as THE correct solution, because other solutions – at least one – are possible. At the most, it can be considered as one of the correct solutions. (What about walking in a rectangle? or a triangle?)
.if you think it is correct then why the fuck do you mention the opposite or irrelevant fact in your answer .THIS is IDIOTIC
Since I ANSWERED FIRST CHANGE BEST ANSWER
travels in circular path .so different radius and circumference
