Is the human cannonball stunt real? I ask myself all the time, so I have finally decided to check it out. All I needed was a willing participant. Through some online social media outlets, I located the perfect candidate. I did a few small scale experiments and determined that it is indeed real. A few fine tuning experiments later and I came up with a couple of the necessary parameters. The cannon would be fired at a thirty degree angle from horizontal and will launch my new friend at a speed of twenty two meters per second. I need help determining how far from the cannon, to the nearest whole meter, the kiddie pool should be located to catch him.
The final cache can be found by subtracting ten times the distance, in meters, from the decimal minutes of the posted north coordinate and adding the distance, in meters, to the decimal minutes of the west coordinate.
