I apologize if my comment came off as rude, but those aren't really "curve-ball" questions and in my opinion should have been asked in an instrument or II checkride which the poster has supposedly passed the first or both. I also believe someone at a level high enough to be considering applying to fly 50-70 people around at 400mph should have the know how to do his/her own research to find answers to questions as fundamental as those. It is scary to think what else he/she doesn't know if they are befuddled to the point of opening a thread in a public forum to pose such simple questions. I was not commenting to belittle this individual, I was merely posting out of shock.

yeah, i think he might have been passing on gouge, but i will tell you, that it is all based on your particular experience...
the 21.2G was a stumper for me but i dont fly with Jepp stuff. in the USAF we use NOS, so that standard Jepp format (if that was what it really was) is just something i am not trained for....you know?
just my $.02 worth......

On a side note, I wish everyone would lay off the whole low timer thing, I am sick of hearing it and believe or not, not every pilot interviewing at an airline is low time. In the group of people that I interviewed with at Mesaba, I was the lowest time pilot there, with a weak 1100TT. So this whole world is ending thing is getting a little ridiculous.

So if you are 20 NM away and have two dots deflection you would be 8000 feet off course of 1.2 NM.

for the Arc length:
.0174*(DME)*(#radials)
....everybody has a small calc for the cockit, right? Can somebody try their "way" to check this?
Thanks!
