The Nightingale birds are extremely fast flyers, but that doesn't get them
anywhere unless they know where they are going.
And so young Nightingale called Zee needs your help!
From her nest, Zee flies 20 kilometres to the east to eat some wheat from a
small field far away from any nearby settlements.
After enjoying the cheat she flies 30 kilometres to the north to a small
stream of water, also used as a source of water for a small human settlement
not much farther to the north.
She took a quick drink of water to quell her thirst before taking off again,
this time heading 10 kilometres to the West to take a short nap in a large old
oak tree that seemed to reach for the sun.
It's not long however before she is disturbed - One of the cats from the
nearby settlement was exploring and had spotted her in the tree.
To escape the cat Zee flies 10 kilometres to the south to another tree,
although this time a large red Yew Tree to finish her nap.
Not long later after she's refreshed from her nap she flies 30 kilometres to
the west for another snack at an overgrown berry bush .. However her peace is
not to last as once there she meets a black crow who chases her back along the
same route for 10 kilometres.
Luckily Zee could fly faster then the Crow, and quickly lost sight of it
behind her. She flew north for another 10 kilometres just to be sure she
wouldn't be easily followed. At this same point she found some nice grapes to
recover her strength from the fast flight.
She then flies 20 kilometres further west searching for more food, only to
find the area crowded by other birds, though unfortunately not aggressive
ones. Nevertheless rather then struggle in the crowd she travels 30 kilometres
south to find somewhere less crowed.
Alas it's now getting late in the day, and so is time for her to return to her
nest with the rest of her brothers and sisters.
Question: How far, and in which direction does Zee need to fly to
return to her nest? Send this
combination to the Journal with your answer in the Subject Line.
If you believe the answer is "75 km West" for example,
Your subject title should be '75 West' or '75 kilometres West'.
(km or kilometres are both acceptable) |
