Brain Teasers
So Strange!
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?
Hint
The title may point you in the right direction.Answer
The woman is a professional seamstress and she has just finished sewing through yards of fabric at top speed. The tracks she left behind were stitches, so it would have been strange if she had ended up anywhere except where she'd begun!Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer

Thanks everyone! After enjoying so many other teasers on this site, I'm glad that I can contribute my own
Bummer. I thought she was the person mowing the grass on the football field. Funny!
That was good! Though, it kind of sounds more like a situation teaser, but that's just what I think.
Tricky, nice hint.
that one left me in stitches
great job

Very clever, good job!

A very cleverly worded teaser. Once you pick up on what could have happened and what actually did then it is very easy to understand the wording. Besides, my parents tested ALL of their friends with logic problems. Keep up the great work.
Whoa. Unless it is a very unusual sewing machine, the tracks she leaves are in front of her, not behind her. As a professional. her machine's speed would probably be controlled by a knee lever, and no pedal would be involved.
Not too bad. Maybe should be in situation with other acceptable answers. I don't get where the trick is either. The title is a clue for sewing and that was clever. A bit of trivia too as only the really old machines have foot levers. Just some observations, not saying it wasn't a good teaser.
I thought it was a great trick! I was trying to think of all the farm implements and how they could do the job! hahahahahah

I thought you made a good riddle. The hint gave me the answer.
Seamstress or football she still had to go in a circle or turn back to arrive at the start!
I thought the place she startd was the car

Technically, if you are on a riding lawnmower or something that moves while you are sitting down, when you stop you are still in the same place because you haven't moved from the seat.
What did she cover the length with? Thread?
