Purpose: To discover the formula(e) to create a root flavor 11. root 11 theory root 11 = section1length/261818.18181818..... the product will be the # of times the section needs to be called. next (section2length/261818.18181818)+ product of above equation ...this will tell you the # of calls for the entire track so far. if your product is not a whole number round up Test track = Mrtnsvil (andre created 3do) section | start - finish | length | f11/17(11) offset | # of calls in root | total calls-distance | total calls actual 1 0 - 1451548 1451548 99460 5.5441069 5.5441069 6 2 1451548 - 2385102 933554 99516 3.5656576 9.1097645 4 3 2385102 - 2468239 633485 99572 0.3175371 9.4273016 0 4 2468239 - 3018587 550348 99628 2.1020236 11.529325 2 5 3018587 - 3568935 550348 99684 2.1020236 13.631348 2 6 3568935 - 4119294 550359 99740 2.1020656 15.733413 2 7 4119294 - 4684494 565200 99796 2.1587500 17.892163 2 8 4684494 - 5249694 565200 99852 2.1587500 20.050913 3 9 5249694 - 5814903 565209 99908 2.1587843 22.209697 2 10 5814903 - 5940263 125360 99964 0.4788055 22.688502 0 11 5940263 - 6883162 942899 100020 3.6013503 26.289852 4 12 6883162 - 9786242 2903080 100076 11.0881527 37.378004 11 13 9786242 - 10716774 930532 100132 3.5541152 40.932119 3 14 10716774 - 10922404 205630 100188 0.7853923 41.717511 1 15 10922404 - 11464848 542444 100244 2.0718347 43.789345 2 16 11464848 - 12007292 542444 100300 2.0718347 45.861179 2 17 12007292 - 12549742 542450 100356 2.0718576 47.933036 2 18 12549742 - 13120982 571240 100412 2.1818194 50.114855 3 19 13120982 - 13692222 571240 100468 2.1818194 52.296674 2 20 13692222 - 14263469 571247 100524 2.1818461 54.478520 2 21 14263469 - 14264597 1128 100580 0.0043083 54.482828 0 22 14264597 - 15234341 969744 100636 3.7038833 58.186711 4 23 15234341 - 16649874 1415533 100692 5.4065496 63.593260 5 Total actual calls = 64 (round up) 64 Guess what?? My computations here allow me to write a root 11 identical to the one in the mrntsvil.3do!!!!!!!!! basically just always round to the higher number. The number of calls in root section is just the product of the computation for that individual section, the number of calls in root is actually more dependant upon total calls in the track than it is section by section...for example section 13, computation for section = 3.554 calls in root, but if you add that to the total # of previous calls made, you'll see that this section does not justify a 4th call because the total calls needed to that point only justifies 40.932 total calls up to that point!! Do you follow me here? THIS IS IT!!! we've figured it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =-)
