Problem
Andy the Ant lives on a coordinate plane and is currently at 
facing east (that is, in the positive 
-direction). Andy moves 
unit and then turns 
degrees left. From there, Andy moves 
units (north) and then turns degrees left. He then moves 
units (west) and again turns degrees left. Andy continues his progress, increasing his distance each time by unit and always turning left. What is the location of the point at which Andy makes the 
th left turn?
