A map in a pirate's log gives directions to the location of a buried treasure. The starting location is an old oak tree. According to the map, the treasure's location is found by proceeding 29 paces north from the oak tree and then 41 paces northwest. At this location, an iron pin is sunk in the ground. From the iron pin, walk 17 paces south and dig. How far (in paces) from the oak tree is the spot at which digging occurs?
