1) This is how i calculate 4 bearings method "by hand", its much better after lets say 3-5 tries because its much easier in the end and not so irritating like drawing at map.
Find yourself paper and pencil and learn again good old elementary math, calc is exploit here! 
2) Yes sometimes you have only location without target's movement info, in this cases, you have no way to find it, you have to be there quick, or pick some choice blindly..

No worries, I asked in the PM because it wasn't totally related to this thread and I was afraid of going off topic!
1) Eh, I love maths, I only have one issue: I dislike trigonometry. Calculus and set theory? Love it though, despite it being much more difficult. I will break open pen and paper and will ask if anything is unclear.
2) Ah ok, in those cases when you have no precise location you get the message only in the Captain log and not in the radio feed, right? And when do you start the clock, when it still says Unknown contact or Contact on the hydro?
