Integrals I: Feynman's Trick · Superchallenge problem

A frog starts at the origin of the coordinate plane and makes a sequence of hops. Each hop has length 2525, and after each hop the frog is at a point whose coordinates are both integers (so there are 2020 possible landing points after the first hop). What is the smallest number of hops needed to reach the point (1000,1000)(1000, 1000)?
