Is the mud underneath the water or on top of it ?
I’ll take a guess at 12 meters

'Are you a pole vaulter?'
The man replies ' Nine. I am German. But how did you know my name was Walter!'

I'd say 48 metres if I didn't think that was a bit long for a pole!

Thirty two metres?

I'm assuming there's no 'overlap' between the parts of the pole in the mud and the water.
