Stupidity distance
From Geohashing
Revision as of 03:25, 28 February 2009 by imported>Robyn (I was going to call it "Robyn's Stupidity Distance" but I can't be the only one.)
The Stupidity Distance for a geohasher or for an expedition is the GPS distance a geohasher gets from the geohash before greed and desperation take over from planning and common sense and the geohasher plunges into questionable terrain, stumbling zombielike in the direction of the geohash without regard for thorns, wet feet or dangerous animals.
For optimum geohashing efficiency, a geohasher should cultivate a low stupidity distance, but a non-zero stupidity distance is sometimes required for successful missions in remote or rural areas.
