Title: A woman steers with her pedal
Post by BenVitale on Jul 18^th, 2009, 6:08pm

A woman carefully steers with her pedal to the metal. She has covered the length of a football field while leaving a neat row of tracks behind her. Yet after the last yard, when she stands up, she's in the place where she began. Even though she didn't go in a circle or turn back, this is normal for her. What has just happened?

Don't suppose the woman is a mouse or a hamster...?

[hide]She's stuck in some mud. Or she wanted a free car wash so she drove into the rover (true story, I've seen it twice...)[/hide]

[hide] She is in the drivers seat of a car. She drives the length of a football field, and is still in the drivers seat of a car.[/hide]

And here I was thinking of those Japanese portable baseball fields. You must have heard of them? The ones whose grass you can roll around?

I think they were used during the foot-ball world cup there.

She is just a simple [hide]tailor[/hide].

Although that's the right answer, there are some [hide]tractors or heavy machinery that are driven with pedals, a left pedal for the left track and a right one for the right. Using one might circle a distance and yet you'd end up back in the same place.[/hide]

The woman could have been driving the little cart that paints the white lines on a football field.

She could also be [hide]in an arcade on one of the racing simulators, one with particularly excessive wheel spin graphics.[/hide]

If the rows don't need to be straight, just precise, [hide]the simulator could be of a drift race.[/hide]

She was teleported by an alien. She was taken before. The alien technology of teleportation is widely used on the surface of Earth and enables a dynamic movement for alien operations on Earth.
