Seems like cheating though, in the real world you have to stop cutting in one direction to start cutting in another. I guess you could do it by approaching a smaller and smaller circular cut, small radius so you don't stop cutting🙂

i think what he means by 'one cut' is that it is a continuous cut in the carpet and not a continuous cut in time..u can stop n wait as long as u continue ur cut from where u stopped.. and as the one and only solver says (which the poser says correct) there is no tricky business..
