How much of this can legally be logged as Cross Country Time?

If you redefine your starting point as starting at the begining
of leg two, then legs 2 and 3 can be logged, otherwise, none of
the landings were accomplished at a point more than 50 miles from
the original starting point.

Well, it could still all be cross country if you start at the beginning
of leg 1. The poster didn't say that leg 3 ended at the start point
of leg 1, it's possible that at the end of leg 3, the poster was at
most a straight line distance of 145.5NM from the starting point of leg 1.
