The telephone cable 2 Geometry puzzles  Weight: 5 Liked the puzzle: 100% 01.01.2010
The Megamind has a square parcel of land of size 1x1 km. Accidentally, he has found out that the devious Occupants had buried a telephone cable through his land and use it for their devious communications. The cable is buried along a straight line crossing the square land plot. After discovering this, the Megamind got his shovel and... paused to think. What is the shortest trench that the Megamind has to dig to find the cable? The trench may be disconnected. The proof of optimality is not required.
