Stolen from Professor Helmut Tester's office: This'll help settle the G-sum debate
Last night our head of covert ops, Bob_Dallas broke into the good professor's office in the Science Building, looking for a copy of the mid-term I have to take today.
He was unsuccessful in finding it.
However, he did discover this modeling tool that should be quite helpful to anyone involved in the g-sum/friction circle debate, which doesn't seem to want to die..
Here it is, compliments of Hey Wait For Me Racing:
http://www.math.dartmouth.edu/~dlittle/java/SpiroGraph/
So the thousands on one side of the debate can start graphing friction circles right now, as can the person on the other side of the argument.
Imagine what a talented chartoligist like Z-man will do with this!
And if anyone does manage to isolate the G-spot using this tool, please rush it to me.
(Yes the Professor is tenured at Dartmouth, so now you understand his references to a Green track)
(pps - sorrry for another G-spot joke, but I couldn't resist)

I suspect something is wrong with the way I brake in right hand turns.
Then again, we're all really a bit asymmetric if you think about it.

Anir cleary you have not seen the precision that can been seen from Z-man's Gsum chart. It it is true work of art. You really need to work harder to improve you symmerty!

Ok, I finally came up with my G-sum model based upon Professor Helmut's Spiro Graph:
The numbers that were plugged in were as follows:
Radius 1: 42^1.618
Radius 2: 3.14 * the GNP of Angola's rutabaga crop
Position: Just right of center
Velocity: the speed of light, of course!
Resolution: don't know: I've been blinded by the speed of light!
Enjoy,
-Z-man.
PS: The animated gif was shamelessly borrowed from Hacker-Pschorr.

Z,
That looks more like Dim Sum than G-sum.
M758,
Grasshopper will work to improve his symmetry.
Brian,
You picked up on that "enhancement", aye? I know of no other way to get the radii so smooth and nummular, except in rare cases of THE natural gift.
