| Ask him about calculation of average speed of a round trip. :-)

Sure, that's an easy one.
30 mph West for one hour = -30 miles, 30 mph North for one hour
= i30 miles, 30 mph SE for 1.414 hours = (30-i30) miles,

 total distance = (0, i0), divided by time, 3.414,
 for the average speed of the three legs of the triangle
= (0,i0) miles per 3.141 hours = 0 mph.

Got a problem with that, fuckhead?
I so I can manage polar coordinates for you as well.

Here's a nice one for you:
A car goes 1 mile up a hill at 30 mph.
How fast must it descend on the other side to complete a two mile journey at 
60 mph?
