Ooops! I didn't consider that.

If the rope is so longer than the rectangle barn and the cow can turn round and round, 3 of "4 quadrants" does not increase the grazing area, it is just 3/4 sector of a circle. The problem is 1 of 4 quadrants.

I'm also not sure that the last test case is in fact correct. (And yes, I have considered the overlap.)
