A man paddling steadily across the still surface of a lake saw a magnificent
bass break water directly ahead of him. Twelve strokes he counted until his
canoe first crossed the ever-widening circle the fish had made. and then
twelve more before he broke through the circle on the opposite side. For a
time thereafter he sought relief from the pleasant monotony of his journey by
calculating how far away the fish had been at the moment it jumped, but it
proved too much for him and he soon gave himself up to less specific
thoughts.
Can you complete his calculation?
