Win a Hat! (Its a really nice hat, its a really hard problem)

We have been struggling to solve an equation for our shooter, and have decided to make this a public competition!

See this twitter post for some incentive

We need an equation that describes the trajectory of a ball, which exits a shooter at a fixed velocity, and only experiances gravetational acceleration. There are plenty of equations that describe this, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajec...te_.28x.2Cy.29

Our problem is the height we need to shoot is directly affected by our angle.

Solve for Theta, No Regression!

The first person to submit through any medium will win the Hat
