Tried many different ways, ended up using similar approach as @PhilipMannering, great learning experience.

I tried solution with special tools, nice and funny.

But I also checked what if I assumed that on such short distance the Earth is flat ;-). I used simple proportions and it turned out that this solution differs from "space tools" solution by less than 0,01%.

Maybe the Earth is flat? ;-)

This one was tough for me, I don't have a lot of geospatial experience so I had to look up and read a lot about great circle points, etc...  I finally got there though.

This challenge can be completed with 2 tools, Formula and Select. I used 3 - Spatial Info, Formula, and Select. I think my solution is good, the extended lines are exactly on top of the original lines
