Years ago I got help on this math problem from DrThundza. For those interested, it's time for me to tackle the problem using modern computer technology.

edit: so, I'm getting ready to solve the problem.
The first and most obvious solution is to use an annihilation matrix to eliminate one aspect of the data (which I already have). Then by using a simple intersection algorithm a polygon can be fit to the object.

The second, less obvious method, is simply to use polyfit and "eyeball" the solution by comparing areas.
Here is 1 solution: What else would you do?

The worst thing I've ever done? I used a flamethrower on my shower vent and later the electrical system burst into flame (fortunately I got home moments later).
We ended up having to pay a substantial fee to the apartment but everything was resolved OK. Fortunately, I was able to rescue the problem with a fire extinguisher and no substantial damage was incurred. |

lol, yeah that was really stupid. i was an adopted kid meeting my parents for the first time. it was years ago. i remember freaking out about meeting my dad and thinking that i had to destroy insects in the shower vent. i recovered later, but i remember one of the wires short-circuited and there was a fire.
i obviously don't do anything like that any more and have pretty much recovered these days. i don't have weapons, etc. |

I was a big Soulja Boy fan back in the day. He made everyone dance again during a time when everyone was too busy trying to be cool. |

lol. I should probably not say any more about it. I used hand sanitizer from the COVID pandemic to clean the vent but then it caught fire. |

Yeah, I was a WCG referee for several years. Usually never for StarCraft because the guys from GosuGamers were always reffing that game every year, so I would referee some other random game like a racing game or fighting game just so I could hang out with the StarCraft people who I knew online. I also competed in WCG qualifiers until I retired from competitive play in 2003.
I had the most fun when I would referee WCG Grand Final events. I was able to travel around the world to work at those, whether it was for WCG or for the eSports company I worked for in Korea. |

Yeah. I've always wanted to apologize for my Starcraft inadequacies. I'm quite a nice perseon in real life I think. And, I agree Rekrul is a noob. I remember I played a game of hunters 3v3 and he elim'd me off the bat. lol. |
