[Mike O]

I'm not going deep on this one- so just one liners.

Bucket's in room 101 and a guy named Blake is in room 103- now I know that room 102 is empty- and both would love to see Mike O. on the patient register- and we all know that I deserve to be in that room- and I really appreciate you guys wanting me to be there- BUT I AM NOT GOING! No one has ever seen Bucket- because he never gets out and it is no coincidence that every LBG seminar that YODA has put on - the dates of those seminars corresponded exactly to "Blake's" scheduled leaves from the facility.

That said- whithout expanding on all the issues, referring to situations like 2-C-1 #2A- the LOC is a tangent to the arc, and 2-C-1 #3 the LOC is a tangent to the arc at separation (and at impact - although based on his drawing that would be a grey area) and 2-C-2 #3 the LOC is a tangent to the arc.

Bucket,
The line of flight is not the same as the LOC. My post above said at impact- which the LOC would always be a tangent to the circle, but depending on what happens to the face during the impact interval- the LOC could become a chord- so it is possible for the LOC to become a CHORD at separation. Now, that's the one liner- and all ready you've got five more patients checking in!, and management aware of this thread has already started construction on the second wing of the facility! And all of this under the guise of TGM but really just to provide you with more chess playing partners!
