It is searched a point on the earth's surface by the common definition of meridiane and latitude where the following experiment is possible: You go 1 km to the South, 1 km to the West an 1 km to the North and will reach your starting point again. Since there are just two points on a sphere where a triangle consistes out of there sides being parallel to the meridian and latitude respectivly (Northern and Southern pole) you cannot solve the problem in my opinion. But the solution should be: x=1+1/(2*pi*n) ; n is an element out of (1;2;3;4;....) and x is the distance from the southern pole.What is my mistake in thinking? I guess I will need a detailed way of solution. Thanx for helping Bert
