The solution commonly given to this riddle is not the optimal: It will reach the shore at an air distance of 14.14 from the goblin (for a lake of radius 100), and allows escaping goblins that are up to 4.14x faster. However, the best theoretical solution reaches the shore at a distance of 57.83, and can beat goblins as fast as 4.60x. How close to that can you get?
