#1 I am trying to work out the "escape from being surrounded by Saudi police" geometry. So far the possibilities are: over, under, and through. I am going through each possibility carefully, and I will issue a technical paper to Rantburg, complete with details, diagrams, figures, and tables when I am done. And don't forget the appendices. Anyone want to whip up a clever cover for the report?

#2 Better yet, how the hell do you escape into the desert? If my geography is correct, there aren't a lot places to hide in a desert.

#3 AP,

I believe you've forgotten the non-Euclidean envelope stuffed with cash theorem.

#4 dreadnought---forgot about that one. I thought both of Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry. I even thought of Hilbert space. But I plumb forgot the Non-Euclidean envelope stuffed with cash theorem. Especially grevious of my omission was that it was a product of Islamic thought from long ago when Hector was a pup. Silly me.
