Krut and Vert go by car from point $A$ to point $B$. The car leaves $A$ in the direction of $B$, but every $3$ km of the road Krut turns $90^o$ to the left, and every $7$ km of the road Vert turns $90^o$ to the right ( if they try to turn at the same time, the car continues to go in the same direction).
