If you bomb any other location, it will be overwritten You are right. I had not realised that the probability of finding a point was exactly weighted by the odd of finding the right one. Well, if we ever change the core size, I think 10080 would be a nice number. It is equal to 32 * 9 * 5 * 7, making a lot more steps possible (ever wished for a mod-3 ?). it's divisible by 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,14,15,16,18,20,24 (and more...). It also allows a 17 points single ring, or, as always, a 4 points double ring (with 5041 and two consecutive mirrored processes). -- "Pis Bourassa qui est toujours la.
