Gandalf the Grey started in the forest of Mirkwood at a point with coordinates (3,-1) and arrived in the iron hills at the point with coordinates (5,2). If he began walking in the direction of the vector v = 4i + 1j and changes direction only once, when he turns at a right angle, what are the coordinates of the point where he makes the turn?
