A Utah man drives a wagon 30feet across the flats.
He yells "Gee Ho!" and then drives the wagon 30 feet.
He yells "Haw!" and then drives the wagon 10 feet.
He yells "Whoa!"
How far is the man from where he started?

My math is a little rusty from 30 years of disuse and not really remembering how to calculate the hypotenuse of a triangle, but my graphing ability is ok. Fifty Feet.
Unless, of course, "Gee Ho" is less than 90 degrees.
