Yeah; I had already prepared Question 6 back when everyone was using a closed-form analytical solution for Q(t). You beat me to the punch by setting up your numerical integration script.


Question 6 solution:

Position: ( -3.7271, -4.0749)
Distance: 60.8613
I think you are showing more decimal places than are warranted for the accuracy of your solution method. I'm differing from you in the third decimal place for X and Y. Compiled C on 8-year-old 32-bit Windows XP machine takes roughly 40ms to compute.

Can someone else weigh in with their numbers for this?
