There is a pole, nine hands tall. At its base is a snake hole. A peacock is perched on top
of the pole. A snake approaches the hole from a distance thrice the height of the pole.
Peacock sights the snake, swoops down diagonally at the same speed and grabs it at a
distance from the hole. What is the distance?
