You are flying a plane due south, out of Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam. You travel for 1000 miles and make make a 90 degree turn, flying due east for a further 1000 miles. You then make another 90 degree turn and fly due north for 1000 miles. Finally, a third 90 degree turn is made and you are heading due west, traveling another 1000 miles.

lol... login! this reminded me of one I used to hear in my grandmother's home--

If a steamship weighed ten thousand tons
And sailed five thousand miles
With a cargo large of overshoes
And carving knives and files,
If the mates were almost six feet high
And the bo's'n near the same,
Would you subtract or multiply
To find the captain's name?

Sooo... the riddle here is "Where did this come from?"
