Two dimensions, two GPs.
East West (Taking East as positive)-> First Term 32, common-ratio = -1/4 (turns half of that in another dimension so ignore that, half again in the oppositve direction in the same dimension). Apply Infinite GP formulae to find the total distance traveled east.
North South (taking South as positive since thats the first move in this dimension) -> First term 16, common ration again -1/4. Apply the same formulae to find the infinite sum of GP.
Apply pythagorus using the two values gotten to find the hypoteneus of the triangle, which is basically the distance from the origin.
