This contest is brought to you by the "Delirium of Disorder" clan formely known as "Elite Warriors" a joke contest has already been done... so .. ill give u a conundrum instead (go look up what the word means if u dont know) .. A guy is searching for a cave (where 10 speed scrolls are found) He begins by facing west, and walks 30 meters straight ahead. He then stops and turns left and walks 20 meters. Then he turns right and walks 50 meters. Then he turns right and walks 55 meters. Then he turns left and goes 20 meters. After that, he turns right and walks 10 meters. Feeling a little lost and confused, he then makes a 360-degree turn and walks 30 meters, and stumbles upon the cave entrance! how far is the cave from his starting point? give simple answers...(is going to be a number)... the prize is the 10 speed scrolls... get cracking.. maximun of 5 answers per player...

Ok, I got off my ass and calculated it rather than just draw a scale diagram.
Is it the sqrt (15^2 + 100^2),
which is about 101.1187 meters?

Where it saids "I disagree", it should say "m=y a=s=s". Darn PC language filters

soljan is right.....125 meters... using pythagorean theorem... a 2 + b 2 = c 2ur trying to solve for "c" (the distance between the cave and the starting point) here is a picture www.geocities.com/camilito8678/answer.bmp[/img] ull get ur prize once i see u alive... (lol kai...i told u it was simple)

Yeh, I read the 360-degree turn as 180-degree so I had the guy retracing his steps in the last bit. I never did pay much attention to what you're saying Cam, so no point starting now.

you are all wrong the guy is (square root)11050 feet away which computes to 105.11898028....ect you get the point if u look at it this way...30feet to the west and 20 feet south then 55 feet west agian (thats 85 horizontal and -20 vertical ..so far) the he went 55 feet north(+55 vertical which equel +35 feet verticle now ) then 20 west and another 30 south (105 Horizontal and -30 vertical which comes to 5 vertical) now you have your two ends for a right triangle ...all your need now is a2+b2=c2..whcih is the answer i shown you....BTW it my name is TitanX in ninja wars
