You kick a ball over a flat field. Taking into account gravity, but disregarding everything else like wind, friction, bounces, etc., etc., at what angle should you kick it so the ball lands the farthest away from you? And at what angle should you kick it so the ball makes the longest trajectory before landing?

(In reply to re: solution by Mark)

last time i checked a straight line measures 180 degrees, and angle to be exact. furthermore it would be traveling the along the circumference of the earth aprox. 360 degrees
