This is an easy one, but I read Rule 26 and just wasn't clear.

Par 3. Water hazard in front/right of hole. Hit the ball over the hazard to the right of the green. Hits dry land to the right of the green, bounces back into the water hazard directly in front of green. Where to drop? Thanks in advance.

Depends on whether the hazard is marked yellow or red.
If yellow, you'll have to go on the other side of the pond, direct line to the pin where the ball crossed the hazard line. Not quite sure whether you have to take the initial line where the ball crossed into the hazard while still in the air, or whether you may use the last cross into the hazard near the green, but you'll have to drop on the far side of the pond.
If red, you may drop within two clublengths of where the ball last entered the hazard near the green, not closer to the pin of course.
