Puzzle
You decide to rent some space in a flower garden. Informing the owner of the garden that you need enough space for 12 plants, he tells you that there are four suitable allotments available, A-D.
The rent for each allotment is calculated by area, but on top of the rent for the 12 plant-sized spaces, there is also a separate charge for the fence around the whole allotment. With this in mind, can you tell which allotment has the most expensive rent?
Hints
Solution
Incorrect
Too bad!
Correct
That's right! D is the most expensive.
When considering how many sides of each plant-sized square need to be fenced, you don't even need to count the length of fence in order to see that D will cost the most.
By the way, if you do add up the lengths for all the allotments, you'll find that A requires 14 sides be fenced, B 20, C 18 and D 26. So you should, of course, choose allotment A.
