xbigboy,

    erik already posted several times in teacher_1's forum, so he knows about this pending 'return' if such it truly is.

   interesting times.

If you read through the content it's pretty clear that it's an attempt to emulate the style of cheater_1 but there are a few red-flags that tell me it's a parody.  The biggest is that cheater_1 did a good job of using capitals to emphasise only those words that warranted it -- teacher_1 almost seems to just be picking random words that don't really need emphasis.

Let's stick to the Queen's bloody English system, eh?

How long does it take a man and a mule to plow a hectare, anyway?

First, users would need to know how much land is in a hectare, so I submit the following from wikipedia:

Metric

as to how long it would take to plow a square area 100 meters on each side, that would depend on whether the man or the mule is pulling the plow.  (leave it to a chessnerd to think of that one)

   If in the standard form, (mule pulling, man walking behind, holding the reins and guiding), then it would depend on age of the mule, size of the mule, whether the mule is fed/rested or has been is worn out from plowing lots of other land all month, as well as whether the land was ever previously plowed, disced and cultivated, or not, what had been planted there in the last season, as well as how deep you want it plowed.    a few too many variables to give a good answer to you without some additional information.

First, users would need to know how much land is in a hectare, so I submit the following from wikipedia:

Metric 10,000 square metres 0.01 square kilometre 1 square hectometre = 100 metres × 100 metres (a square with sides 100 metres long) 10 decares 100 ares 10,000 centiares

First assume the mule is a sphere...
