Professor's zigzag field puzzle vs straight distance
A field trip poses a puzzle with a zigzag path across a 100 yard square field. The professor claims the zigzag path length equals the two sides around the field, totaling 200 yards, regardless of unit size. The text notes this is incorrect and asks for the correct solution, with scattered local notes about other items and a late-arriving old letter.
