(...) We decided to trade it in. There was nothing much wrong with the car, we just thought that if we were planning on buyin a house in a couple of years, it would be better to have a car that is still in good condition vs. 7+ years old.

I just got a call from a gal looking for: one person to build some kind of "smallish" custom creations (food related) for a TV cooking show.

(...) I noticed that, also. I think it says "changes must be less than 180". However, I'm not sure it matters which direction you went. For example, if you get readings of 10 deg and 20 deg, but in the time between the direction was never 15 (...) (19 years ago, 5-Aug-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) And if you stop and think about it for a second or two, you'll realize your special case really does deserve special consideration. The average is no wind at all, so the direction would be undefined. (19 years ago, 5-Aug-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Don't you get the same problem at 180, now? 170 + 190 = 170 +(-170) = 0 I think there are several readings that can give you more than one result. For example, if you take two readings of 90 and 270, what should the answer be? 0? 180? never (...) (19 years ago, 5-Aug-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) If I remember right, the way we resolved this for real-world surveying problems and the like was to convert the degrees 180 < x < 360 into negative values relative to 0/north. 350 is -10, 270 is -90, etc. If x1 > 180 then x2 = 360 - x1 This (...)
