Quiz

It is the Chinese Valentine's day today. I shall put up a quiz for you to ponder:

The shortest way to walk from place A to B is to go south for two miles, and then to the north for two miles. How far do you have to walk from place A to B by going east ?

I may well provide a Chinese translation: 從A地到B地最短的方式是先南向行兩英里,然後向北行兩英里。問:從A地到B地,往東行有多遠?

PS. Don't be paranoid. This is a question on mathematics, not some leg-pulling IQ test.
