The only feasible method I can think of is to create a role playing game and roll the dice!

An interesting puzzle....the force of gravity is known to lessen with the increase of distance above sea level(albeit in miniscule increments). I wonder how much that would affect the equation?

Come to think of it, gravity's force also changes with geography....it measures stronger towards the poles and the least near the equator. BTW, that's why both Russia & the US have thier rocket launch facilities located closer to the equator....less energy required to reach 'escape velocity' and go into orbit.

If we could figure out the gravity difference between the two sites, we could adjust the ramp heights to make them equal out! Anyone got a calculator or an app for that?

Spokane is 1843 ft asl.....I get nervous up this high up.
