To look at a map would likely do you no good whatsoever. In any event you are wrong by about 4300 Km. 30 x30 would be a bit west of Cairo.

Greece is not so far (4300 km!) from Egypt, surely. :)Quote:

Intersection would be, uh, middle of France :?:
And with that answer, schmenke moves even further away from the epicenter of world population. :-(
I reckon latitude 30°N is a pretty decent guess, how about a meridian 90°E through Asia ?
Getting warmer, based on year 2000 world cencus figures. Now only slightly less than 2200 Km away. One more good guess and you should be able to triangulate!Quote:

I was thinking something along those lines as well, but if I understood Breeze correctly (4300kms from Greece) then that wouldn't work.Quote:
