If kovek's question was like the first image there, it'd be a simple radius/circumference calculation (2 * pi * 5km). But it sounds like the second image to me - which makes it into more of a horizon line problem.
- YZF 9y agoYeah, I know that. I'm just trying to add to the history of rope/earth/cat interview questions here. This was ~15 years ago by the way and to be clear we're talking about cats being able to pass anywhere, not the line of sight problem, which I agree makes it a little more interesting..,
