    Hi everybody,

    Your opinion and/or solution to a nav-question (from an old examination).

    Here it is:

    In ploting sights taken on 3 stars, you get an erronous PR at L 47º 50.0'N,
    Lo 088º 10.0'W. What will be the exact PR if after revising all
    calculation you detect the following errors and correct them:

    A. The chronometer was 30 seconds slow instead of 30 seconds fast .

    -------------------------------------------------------

    B. The Greenwich Date was the one day later.
