Painted on the concrete floor of each of the cells in the Gitmo
detention complex is an arrow. Question: What direction does this
arrow point?
Hint: The Naval base at Guantanamo has latitude 20.1 deg N and
longitude 75.1 deg W, and the Kab'bah in Mecca has latitude
21.45 deg N and longitude 39.75 deg E. (The latitude difference
between these 2 points is less than 1 1/2 degrees.)
Using methods similar to my PDF, I find the arrow points 29.5
degrees north of east.
I'll post my formula if you confirm this answer first (cc me
directly to avoid a one-day delay for the digest to come out). Carl
