senatorhung Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) [quote name='Bdiah' timestamp='1291187057' post='2527147'] A few points of data: -13, -168, 64% -15, -169, 65% -16, -170, 66% Using these points I formed a line under that assumption that 1%=1 deg (which I know is incorrect), and adjusted: -40, 166, 85% -44, 170, 83% -46, 160, 87% getting better, but still a ways to go. For future points, I would continue along this path until the effectiveness drops, then drop a perpendicular to the northwest at an appropriate point. Next Suggested Points: -53, 153 -60, 146 [/quote] thanks for these Bdiah. using them, i got 98% with -35,140 and then the full 100% with -37,140. screencap to follow !

senatorhung Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) [quote name='Bdiah' timestamp='1291187057' post='2527147'] I recall that there has been a fair amount of discussion but have we ever determined the actual equation modeling how effectiveness falls off with respect to distance? [/quote] zakharov's algorithm is developed over these posts: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=64843&view=findpost&p=1879412 http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=64843&view=findpost&p=1886680 http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=64843&view=findpost&p=1879493 and concludes with: [QUOTE] eff(hs,p) = 100 - 125*d(hs,p)/pi where pt is any point, hs is the hotspot and d is the great circle distance function with radius = 1. The algorithm is like this: for every point p with integer coordinates on the map -assume p is the hotspot -calculate the efficiency of all known datapoints and count how many match the points that match every datapoint are hotspot candidates. [/QUOTE] that won't get you right to the 100% solution, as there are a couple more wrinkles (including floating pt calcs), but if you get close, feel free to query at that time.

Magister Agricolarum Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 (-2.10890, 179.29688) gives 83% (for January). (44.59047, 146.95313) only gives 51%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It's made with Mathematica, same thing with the graphics earlier in this thread ([url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=64843&view=findpost&p=1879161"]here[/url],[url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=64843&view=findpost&p=1879493"]here[/url],[url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=64843&view=findpost&p=1885515"]here[/url]). Mathematica rocks [quote name='NuclearTrogo' timestamp='1295355419' post='2581186'] Wonder if there's a 0% effectiveness somewhere... [/quote] The efficiency is clamped above 50%. That's good for lazy players, but it actually makes the hotspot harder to find because any datapoints inside the 50% zone don't give much useful information.

Chintan Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) I've got this awesomeness ready to find the hotspot this Monday: BTW, if anyone has the exact formula for finding the efficiency that gets the floating point error correct, please send it to me, because the formula I'm using now is slightly off. [size="5"][b]Possible Moon Hotspot Locations (December 2010):[/b][/size] Tried a location? Post the result in this thread! Every point helps, even if it gives 50%. Points Tried so far (lat, long): (-13, -168): 64% (-40, 166): 85% Priority Points (try these next): lon=141&lat=-34 lon=168&lat=-61 (If you decide to try a priority point, post here that you're trying it, try it, and post the result, so that someone else doesn't try the same point) [img]http://lh4.ggpht.com/_aIYowgo2fqo/TUT3CST-a3I/AAAAAAAAAKA/L5QVPklgsno/s0/2010-12-Moon-01.png[/img] Edited January 30, 2011 by Chintan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
