How far are you from your starting point? 73.76 metres (see below)

20. Unscramble the two words : A A A E L P Q R S U Z PLAZA & SQUARE
21 Blue

Math's workings:
There are 25 prime numbers between 1 and 100, neither of which is prime. (No, 1 is not prime.) So you will walk in an expanding square with sides of length 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97 metres.

The net result of your turns will be that you are 56 metres ahead of your starting position.

(2+11+23+41+59+73+97)
- (5+17+31+47+67+83)

You will also be 48 metres to the left of your starting position.

(7+19+37+53+71+89)
- (3+13+29+43+61+79)

To calculate the distance back to the starting position, calculate the length of the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle with sides that are 56 and 48 metres long. This is 73.756 metres
