<div id="ygrps-yiv-406046950">really<br/>
i dont remember that<br/>
<br/>
& it is an interesting question <br/>
as well as a challenging try pointing quest<br/>
<br/>
perhaps even 2 of each<br/>
since the farthest pair of points measured circumferentially <br/>
might not be the same points as the diametrically farthest pair<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
yet exactly how to solve for either set<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
alternatively<br/>
someone may already have solved & posted answers for them<br/>
<br/>
so perhaps a prior question is<br/>
exactly how to search for any such ready made answers<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
&or <br/>
failing that<br/>
there must be some data on the geoid already developed & <br/>
available somewhere that might be useful toward these ends<br/>
if we knew what to look for<br/>
<br/>
like <br/>
greatest circumference & diameter figures might be a good <br/>
place to start<br/>
since these are likely to have been worked out to some degree <br/>
of specificity & accuracy<br/>
<br/>
but where & how to find them<br/>
<br/>
& could we in fact approach the correct answers via these data<br/>
<br/>
& if so <br/>
by exactly what means could we get there from here<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
but can anyone solve or advance this<br/>
<br/>
or even clearly see the right way to go<br/>
<br/>
