Let $N$ be the set of all non-negative integers and for each $n \in N$ denote $n'= n +1$. The function $A : N^3 \to N$ is defined as follows:
(i) $A(0, m, n) = m'$ for all $m, n \in N$
(ii) $A(k', 0, n) =\left\{ \begin{array}{ll}
n & if \, \, k = 0 \\
0 & if \, \,k = 1, \\
1 & if \, \, k > 1 \end{array} \right.$ for all $k, n \in N$
(iii) $A(k', m', n) = A(k, A(k',m,n), n)$ for all $k,m, n \in N$.

Consider a regular $24$-gon $\mathcal{P}.$ A quadrilateral is said to be inscribed in $\mathcal{P}$ if its vertices are among those of $\mathcal{P}.$ We consider two inscribed quadrilaterals equivalent if one can be obtained from the other via a rotation about the center of $\mathcal{P}.$ How many distinct (i.e. not equivalent) quadrilaterals can be inscribed in $\mathcal{P}$?

Crystal has a running course marked out for her daily run. She starts this run by heading due north for one mile. She then runs northeast for one mile, then southeast for one mile. The last portion of her run takes her on a straight line back to where she started. How far, in miles is this last portion of her run?
