I guess that's to me. Sure: IIRC, two dead ball personal fouls, each enforced in the order it occurred. Enforce the penalty on A first, moves the ball 15 yards from the B3 to the B18. Then enforce the penalty on B, moves the ball half the distance to the goal, which is to the B9.

Thanks for the reply, but Im still confused. If the enforcement of the first penalty brings it to the 18, wouldnt the enforcement of the second penalty bring it back to the 3?

No.

10-1-5:
"Enforcement of a penalty cannot take the ball more than half the
distance from the enforcement spot to the offending team’s goal line. If the
prescribed penalty is greater than this, the ball is placed halfway from the spot of
enforcement to the goal line."

Excellent! Thank you!
