Light pole brainteaser. This one is real difficult, but IS doable.

You are in a parking lot with poles oriented something like this. It's a freehand drawing, so measurements are not accurate. You have 50 feet of parachute line plus enough to tie it to the pole.

Using a compass and the parachute line, draw the magneic azimuth lines and distances shown. Do not go more than 50 feet from the red pole.

Magnetic north is at the top of the page.

(This is a tough one.)

Time limit: 1 hour.

Accuracy:

No more than 8 feet error on any distance or 5 degree error on any bearing.
