Ask your kids - they may help you!

Pfff!! I want proof in problem 76 that angle OCD is infact 35 degrees! And I don't have kids...
As for the subject of this thread... I do not mean to detract of Mittelwaechter's technique (infact I applaud him for being the first here to descibe it, and I tried to keep his video online) but I made a tool with which you can check your results for accuracy/errors made. It works by just alligning the right bearing difference numbers (bearings 1-2 vs. bearings 1-3) on the wheel and reading the AOB from the 1st bearing. In essence the geometrical drawing by Mittelwaechter and the formula for my tool is the same (I didn't check it, but it must be as the situation is the same). My tool does not replace the whole tutorial (since it cannot calculate range and speed), but can be used instead of making this 2-triangle-drawing instead. I personally find the drawing technique to be too sensitive to any drawing inaccuracies made. The method is sensitive allready due to the fact that bearings are reported in degrees instead of finer resolutions. But you should make up your mind yourself on that.
