Tangle #6 hints and answer, 6 November 2026
Hints go from gentle to obvious. Nothing is revealed until you tap it, so you can stop as soon as it clicks.
The puzzle
The official length of a full nohtaram (read that word backwards) is a fixed number of kilometres. How many kilometres is it, not counting the bit where you collapse dramatically afterwards?
💡 Hint 1
“nohtaram” backwards is “marathon”.
💡 Hint 2
The dramatic collapse happens after the finish line, so it isn’t part of the distance.
🧭 The real question
How long is an official marathon, in kilometres?
