thanx grant brrr & may i then safely conclude that the most capitally distant populated place on earth is the south pole or might those crazy voronoi lines

... Do I really think that? I think not. I think I mean that the average of the *radii* of the voronoi tiles at that vertex is going to be higher than for any
