We told Gavin not to run, but he did so anyway. He took 18 steps from second base, got

caught in a rundown, took 7 steps back, then took 3 steps forward, 5 steps back, 11 steps
forward, and was tagged out halfway between second and third base. How many steps is it
from second base to third base?

Answer:

40 steps from 2nd to 3rd base

Explanation:

18 - 7 + 3 - 5 + 11 = 20, which is halfway, so double that to get to 3rd base.
