Spike, NOBODY turns right pi/2 :D
"If Mrs. Claus travels 4 km north, then 3 km east, what is the maximum
distance she can be from the igloo?"
5km, because east is 90 deg. from north, and the ground is flat over such short distances, and if she started out less than 4km from the north pole, she'd get stuck there, according to those directions, because once you get to it, you can't go any farther north.
Ha! Take that, maths-boy!
