Joseph was kayaking on the Hudson River. While looking at the Breakneck Ridge trail-head, he lost a whole bag of donuts. Joseph didn't realize he had lost it for fifteen minutes. That's when he turned back and started going in the opposite direction. When he found the bag, which was going the speed of the Hudson's current, it was two miles from the Breakneck Ridge trail-head. What is the speed of the current in the Hudson River?

On traditional maps, earth is represented in a flat plane, or by euclidean geometry. however, a globe is a more accurate model that comes from elliptical geometry. how does a globe represent the fact that there are no parallel lines in elliptical geometry? the equator is not parallel to any other latitudinal lines. the north and south poles are never connected by a geodesic. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles never intersect. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles intersect at both of the poles.
