Crap on a cracker, are you kidding me?

45 degrees foul and 45 degrees fair are how far apart???

Answer = 90 degrees (45 + 45)

I now defy you to describe any example in two dimensions where one can be 90 degrees from something, and then move 90 degrees in either direction and somehow still be 90 degrees from that same something. Good luck.

It's what I get for writing early in the morning. But yes, you're definitely right on re-reading it.

Just did. Let's see... yup. 45 degrees plus 45 degrees is 90 degrees on this one too.

If you disagree, maybe you should explain yourself - as your initial post here is mathematically completely wrong.

If 45 degrees from the line is a 90 degree angle on the call, and you move 90 degrees in either direction, you're either at zero degrees or 180. If you mean something else entirely, enlighten us.
