Long distance travel
Harry Hoppit, the famous solo airman, was in his
London penthouse suite planning his next flight.
" Maybe I'll go over the North Pole," he said out
loud, looking out of the window towards the hills
of Hampstead. "On the other hand, I could go
via America." he muttered to himself, looking out
towardsWestminster Abbey and the Thames Valley
beyond.
"Why don't you just take the quickest route?"
asked his girlfriend, Persephone.
"It makes no difference," he replied. "What's a few
miles here or there, when I'mgoing so far?" and he
continuedmuttering to himself, "Perhaps I should fly
over India ..."
What was Hoppit's destination?

The Greek Cross
Peter went round the edge of the cross, cutting off
these four small triangles, which fit into the remain-
ing edge to form the square.
Jane wanted tomake two cuts parallel to Peter's
cuts – straight through the middle, like this:
It is a curious fact that you canmake two cuts paral-
lel to Jane's through any point inside the central
square of the cross, and you will get a dissection
into the same square.
