While out for a stroll, you encounter a vicious velociraptor. You start running away to the northeast at $ 10 \text{m/s}$, and you manage a three-second head start over the raptor. If the raptor runs at $ 15\sqrt{2} \text{m/s}$, but only runs either north or east at any given time, how many seconds do you have until it devours you?
