@charles-l-dowdell You are right often they are, but often they were not too. This isn't about the nitty gritty of a real situation. This is about no...

@loyal You are right it depends, that's why the information needs to be in the question. You can't reduce the record bearings to cardinal equivalents...

Guys this question is screwed up, you are all assuming the original record is cardinal. The original berings are not provided, so it can't be solved.?...

Looking at the other questions there are other problems too. I can assure you NCEES does a better job writing questions than this.?ÿ

@bill93 There doesn't even have to be two roads, you can meet someone walking down a trail (or road) simply by walking at a different speed. Thankful...
