And the math required doesn´t belong on an open board.

Why? It is not secret.

Advanced mathematics required to solve the problem falls under advanced studies more for a masters degree. You can probably find software to solve these types of questions.

What a sniper does by compensating for the environment when taking a shot is amazing in the complicity of the problem. The human brain solves the equation in real time, digital computers can't.
