If a snail crawls halfway around a circle then turns around and crawls halfway back, is it now back where it started?

No, it's not.

no - it's 90 degrees from where it started...

You're both right. The snail crawls around the circle from the bottom to the top. Then if he only crawls half way back toward his original starting place, he'd only be at the 1/4 point of the circle.
