Say you are sailing a course of 190 and making 5 kn. An adverse current
suddenly gets you and you are now making a COG of 90. Assume the new COG
is at
the same speed (5kn)

Current = 50*, 8kts


and again at 2.5 kn.

36* 6.2 kts.


What direction and speed must the
current be to produce either of these results? Can such a current exist
in a
Gulf Stream eddie?

I don't know the Gulf stream, but I am fairly sure that I could find it!

donny, your math wouldn't get you promoted from 10th grade to 11th.

(what the hell do *you* think the sq rt of 50 is, for the krist sakes?)

As it happens, I don't have an opinion about the square root of 50.

Now, perhaps you could tell us why you think that my mathematical skills are
lacking??

While you are at it, you can also tell us about the malicious code that I
sent you in an e-mail?


I haven't forgotten about your lying accusation! I think that you should
admit that you might have made a mistake

Think about it!

opinion? how the hell can one had an **opinion** re sq rt 50????

ah ..... maybe see above???

You asked me what I thought the sq root of 50 was, didn't you? As your
question is totally irrelevant to the current discussion, I have no thoughts
on the matter.

That just proves that your powers of deduction are lacking.


Now, can you explain why you think that my answer to the original question
was wrong?

Skitch asked-
Say you are sailing a course of 190 and making 5 kn. An adverse current
suddenly gets you and you are now making a COG of 90. Assume the new COG
is at

and I answered-

Current = 50*, 8kts

What is your answer, Jax?

donny, I don't saying your answer was wrong. it is jeffies who says every
answer given but his narrowly defined, case-specific answer is wrong.

however, you still can't have an "opinion" on the sq rt of 2.

I *do* have an opinion about the square root of 2.

Unlike the square root of 50, I think that the square root of 2 has some
practical applications.


Are you saying that you can quote some practical applications for the square
root of 50? If not, then why would you bother forming an opinion about such
a useless figure?
