Dolly the Dolphin is swimming in a square-shaped body of water that measures 1000 metres by 1000 metres. From the bird’s-eye viewpoint, it is easy to determine where Dolly the Dolphin is. The body of water can be separated into four smaller square sections, each section being 500 metres by 500 metres. The body of water is drawn into a Cartesian coordinate system. In a race, Dolly must swim in a straight line, and we take all coordinates and points from the bird’s-eye viewpoint. The starting location of the race is (-8, -9) and the finish point of the race is (7, 9).

Another super fan, Max, bought 4 concert tickets for $126. Both purchases include the concert ticket itself, and the entrance fee. The entrance fee is charged when each order is made, no matter how many tickets people purchase in one order, The entrance fee is always the same. And suppose each ticket is at the same constant rate no matter which section of seats people select. Tiffany and Max are super fans and they would like to pay the entrance fee in advance, even before they purchase any tickets. Unfortunately, seconds after the purchases were made, the website where they had both made their purchase had crashed. Now it's up to you to figure out how much money they paid alone for the entrance fee, without counting the price of the concert ticket itself.

Waffles is going down the stairs.

There are 16 steps in total, and it takes her 3 minutes to get to the bottom of the staircase.
She moves at a constant rate.  

A few months later, her owner, Charles, wins the lottery and buys a mansion. Their new spiral staircase has a total of 666 steps. 

If Waffles were to start at the top of the staircase, going at the same, constant, speed as before, how long (in minutes) would it take her to reach the bottom?

Note: The size of the steps don't change for some magical reason.

Entering the beach, they are told upon entering regarding the vast amount of sharks and their ruthlessness. Without fear, the two courageously ignore the native and walk into the waves. After a km, swimming on top of their boards, they stand up, preparing to ride the incoming wave. However as Max stood up a strong force hit the side of his board. Knocking him over into the water. As he swam towards Tyler, Tyler dove behind Max into the deep, dark blue water. Noticing the outline of a great white shark swim through the reefs sand. Ten feet long at least. In desperation, Max swam up reaching for his knife. Kept to cut the rope on his surfboard, never mind a shark. He screamed looking around for Tyler as he treaded in the water. However he couldn't find him, and swam a few meters to his surfboard. As he got on he, looked down and noticed two sharks trailing eastward. Thinking this could be Tyler, instinctively Max turned his board and moved in the same direction. However a local Navy veteran jetted towards him in a speedboat. Helping Max onto the boat, the vet looked down into the water from the edge. Unable to make out any person or shark. He raced the boat to shore. 

Luckily that day the vet had advanced fishing technology on board, which noted there was a human heat signature at points (4,-9) on it's plane. Furthermore, it placed the sharks at points (-1,7) before they disappeared. 

A few hours passed, and a scientist noted the waves would push anybody in a constant pattern. Also finding another human signature 2 hours before the incident at 10 on the x axis. But the y is unknown.
