Eh, shocking post, huh? That is what happens whenever one hits the bottle right before posting.
Note to self: don't drink before posting or don't post after drinking. Plus, I forgot to add the pic showing the calculation of the angle of the dive: here is it. According to my calculation, the dive was wrong by a factor of 50 degrees.

Basically, all you have to do is a splash. But the turtle complicated her task because she was too fast while taking the run: yes, it sounds crazy for
some turtle, but that is what really happened. According to some calculations made @ NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, she took the run at some average speed of about 200 kmph (approx. 124.28 mph). See image # 1.
A dive may end in 3 different ways: one is the good, two are wrong, always.
You have four basic points of reference: two are static, two are not (see image # 2).

Static points of reference:
1 - Bridge
2 - Water's level

Dynamic points of reference:
3 - Turtle's head
4 - Turtle's asshole

The turtle made a mistake of less than 40°, enough to ruine her dive, though.

"Dynamic points of reference" had me rolling.
