    That's the nice thing about this approach compared to the draw your own
    circle approach. As Ken mentioned, the tricky part is dividing up the points around
    the hand-drawn circle. A printed compass rose at least gives you a reliable
    starting point.

    And:
    "6.Multiply that ratio by 22.50*(degree)"

    That's a typo, I assume (it was in Jim's post, too). It should be 23.5
    degrees.
