The simplest almost Riemannian problem with a Martinet point is studied. Extremal and
optimal trajectories are studied by analytic, symbolic, and numeric techniques.
Analytically the following results were obtained: existence of optimal trajectories was
proved, absence of abnormal trajectories was shawn, a Hamiltonian system for normal extremals
was derived, its symmetry and Maxwell points was described. Symbolically all polynomial integrals
of the Hamiltonian system of degree not greater than 54 were described. Numerically the
optimal synthesis was constructed.
