I chased Nathan into his own show today to teach him a lesson in celestial navigation. My challenge was simple- you and your buddies have been running your mouths about sextants and celestial navigation for months- but I suspected they were 'all hat and no cattle' as they say in Texas.

So my challenge was simple. Here is a two star fix from a real ocean voyage. I gave him all the information he needed to find the position of the ship and told him he could call on any or all of his dwindling panel to help him give me a position from the sextant reading. The results were hilarious and humiliating for Nathan and later Quantum Eraser.

We'll go over the show live and I'll work the problem, getting a proper solution within 10 miles of the actual location of the vessel (not bad for only two stars). In the process I expose the ignorance of Nathan, Quantum Eraser and AdamMeakins (who at least tried but was a mere 2750 miles off and used a globe)
