Donal was the only person besides to even attempt both problems. He did
it
graphically, which is appropriate. I worked it out with trig to double
check
Donal's work.

Hey! I'd be grateful if you would stop using me to back up your position.
You wrote off my initial answer as being little better than Jax's. I think
that you must be feeling a bit desperate if you are now trying to use me in
your argument against Jax.

I worked out my answer using a Breton plotter, and a bit of paper, at 20
minutes to midnight, on a Saturday, after a meal and a bottle of wine. You
used log tables, at 9:30 am. I feel that I have nothing to be ashamed of.

I don't consider log tables to be part of the traditional navivator's
toolbox.

I've done this sort of nav for real, at sea.. .... many times. I do it to
within 1* of accuracy. If you need to use log tables, *or* if you need to
be able to calculate square roots, then you shouldn't consider yourself to
be capable of doing navigation. You are both as bad as each other.

Regards


Donal
