Re:Patrick Stirling's comments on 1-dimensional solution.

 Sorry,Patrick,but you have just used a 2-dim argument.The fact that
you have introduced the idea of 'parallel' immediately implies 2-d's.
A 1-dim system is best described by a straight line (e.g.the real line).

By the way,can I clear up something ? Can the angel zig-zag in one turn,
or must it travel in straight lines ? (This of course is for 2-d or greater).
