Snow Splash (Posted on 2005-05-15) Difficulty: 2 of 5
A field in the shape of a right triangle (with the two shortest sides measuring 60 feet and 80 feet) has roads on all three sides that don't drain properly. As a result, muddy water puddles collect and when the cars pass through, they splash all the snow that is within 5 feet of any one of the three roads.

If all other snow not splashed by cars is kept clean, what percent is clean?

Oh, man, and now I go and double-check.  Yes, Justin, you're right.  I forgot to subract 3.75 from my 60 side.  Okay, okay.
