[quote name='Earth Shaker' timestamp='1293962597' post='2560752'] Done the calculation, try -53 -82 [/quote] It works! Thanks mate!

-57 -11 75% -57 -52 89% EDIT: I wrote a java program so that anyone can calculate it. [code]// USEAGE: java HotspotCalc LAT1 LON1 EFF1 LAT2 LON2 EFF2, etc public class HotspotCalc { public static final int nPointsMax = 99; public static void main(String[] args) { double[] lon = new double[nPointsMax]; double[] lat = new double[nPointsMax]; double[] eff = new double[nPointsMax]; double bestFit; double bestFitLat; double bestFitLong; double thisFit; double temp; bestFit = 99999999; bestFitLat = 0; bestFitLong = 0; int nPoints = args.length / 3; int ii; int jj; int kk; //Load the points from command line for (ii = 0; ii < nPoints * 3; ii += 3) { lon[ii/3] = Double.parseDouble(args[ii]); lat[ii/3] = Double.parseDouble(args[ii+1]); eff[ii/3] = Double.parseDouble(args[ii+2]); System.out.println ("Point: ("+lon[ii/3]+","+lat[ii/3]+"), "+eff[ii/3]+"%"); } //Scan through lat, long for (ii = -90; ii <= 90; ii++ ) { for (jj = -180; jj <= 180; jj++) { thisFit = 0; //Scan through poitns for (kk = 0; kk < nPoints; kk++) { //TEMP = sqrt(100 - 125*d(p,x)) -eff) temp = 100.0 - 125.0*Math.acos(Math.sin(lat[kk]*Math.PI/180.0)*Math.sin(ii*Math.PI/180.0) + Math.cos(lat[kk]*Math.PI/180.0)*Math.cos(ii*Math.PI/180.0)*Math.cos(Math.PI*(lon[kk]-jj)/180.0))/Math.PI -eff[kk]; thisFit += temp * temp; } //If this fits the data better than the current best fit, store the lat, long if (thisFit < bestFit) { bestFit = thisFit; bestFitLat = ii; bestFitLong = jj; } } } System.out.println ("Best lat: "+bestFitLat); System.out.println ("Best lon: "+bestFitLong); System.out.println ("Fit Quality (closest to zero is better): "+(bestFit/nPoints) + " (" +(bestFit)+")"); } }[/code] According to it, the best Lat, Long is -31, -72. Note: Only include points with eff > 50%!

41, 116, 50% (October's hotspot) -12, -19, 67%

Money Sent ^^

I'll buy ^^

Count me in as a buyer!

I've sent you a PM

I sent a PM because i'm not rude to send money before asking

3 Mil sent. Nice doing buisness

Name: Socialist Antarctica Ruler: Twigz Linkage: http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_d...ation_ID=237451 Have Resources: Marble & Pigs Need Resources: Spices and Lumber WILL PAY $3,000,000 OR 100 TECH

Gah, had to drop, I've been given an offer I couldn't refuse. I'll keep this up for the rest of you incase you still want to go through. Just that I won't be in it.

It appears that we are going black by consensus (4 of us are). Go go go!

Seeing that we have everyone, shall we change colour? And what to? Edit: We have: Black: 2 Blue: 2 Green: 1 Marron: 1 So it'll have to be black or blue

Thanks ^^ Yet another update to the list.

Nah, its okay mate.

Thanks guys. *List updated* We only need Lumber/Water and hopefully Fish/Urainium

Got a response from: http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_d...ation_ID=243154 Said he's willing to join. EDIT has IRON/WHEAT

Okay, if we can find a wheat/lumber, iron/lumber or a wheat/iron, we're set!

I pm'ed a couple of nations. Still waiting for a response....

I do believe I'm entitled to a bump.

kk, list updated.

Gah, fail on my part.

Ummm... no . You'll be better off in a 5-8 bonus ring with those resources.

Great! All we need then is cattle and wheat...

Okay then, I've added you all as maybes Any more takers?
