Actually,you are maybe right!

We may never see $20,or $10 or even $ 0,15 for that matter.

But there again, we may!

If I knew,I would not be here today entertaining myself with you people!

So, since you speak so eloquently of jets and circumcision and circumnavigation,do you know what the word "orthodromy" means?

Well,it means the act of sailing or flying on a Great Circle.

It is calculated as follow:

  • orthodromic Distance : :
  • gain in distance relative to the Loxodromy ::
With : loxodromic distance orthodromic distance true loxodromic route average latitude ()

Initial route : (angle of track of initial route) :

  • Vertex latitude :

So,now you know how to calculate a Great Circle distance!

I'll teach you next time how to calculate an orthodromy!

Hey,I may even choose you as my co-pilot next time I fly across the North pole! (no,no,not your Dickhead )

Stick with the toads and I'll stay in my skies!
