Jill and Jimmy - Line of Sight - March 14-18, 1994 Jill and Jimmy were having a picnic on the bank of the river below the construction site of their bridge (see earlier problems). Jill decided to take the rowboat out for a while. She followed a path such that her lines of sight back to the dock and to the foot of the bridge on the same side of the river were always perpendicular to each other. In what kind of path on the river did she travel? (Credit for this problem goes to Harold Jacobs, from his Geometry book.)
