let me guess jeffies, *you* define it as a math problem

I define it as a "Math Problem" because the subject of the thread is "Math Problem."


because you remember
(totally unlikely)

You forget the I spent 6 years programming navigation for NASA spacecraft. High school trigonometry
is not that difficult for me.

or know how to look the formula to find the third side of a
non-right angle triangle if the other two sides are known --- AND YOU ARE SO
PROUD OF YOURSELF FOR THAT!!!!! ---, yet ...

Its not that hard. Its on page 325 of the current Bowditch. That's a book, jaxie. The one you
haven't read.



... you lack the intelligence to consider the question in the context in which
it was asked.

The context was as a "Math Problem." Look at the subject of this thead.


Well, good for you, jefffies, you are one bright mother for being able to look
up a never-used-by-anyone formula, AND are are such a bright mother that you
are totally beyond caring about the question, only the precision of your
inaccurate answer.

The question was a "Math Problem." If you are unable to do a "Math Problem" why do you keep
contributing to this thread?


congrats, jeffies. you sure are one bright mother. We are so glad for your
company here what with all your ability to answer a trivial part of a larger
question and then to keep us all on our toes by telling us the trivial answer
defines the whole.

I'll bet there were a few people out there whose memory of trig was refreshed a bit. But most
mariners would probably be better served know Donal's method, or some variant of it. Had his answer
been closer to the right answer I might not have added mine.

Remember Jaxie, you not only got a inaccurate answer to the first question, you didn't bother to
answer the second. And making a guess that's 5 degrees off is not very good navigation. And then
defending it is just plane stupid. Buts its what we expect from you, jaxie.


to the rest of the ng, jeffies doesn't have a clew what the paragraphs above
say. don't tell him. let dumb cluck think he has solved the world.



Sorry jaxie, a math problem is a math problem. If you can't do the math, you
could just admit it. Its no shame, lots people have difficulty with math.

And don't worry, you can still enjoy going out on the water. Just make sure
you
have someone qualified to navigate on board, and don't worry yourself too
much
that you don't understand what they're doing.

sheesh, jeffies, are you really as dense as you are telling us? In other
words, are you so dense you don't even understand you are dense?

or are you a pig of a sophist?

What part of "math problem" do you not understand?
