The cocked hat problem is a difficult one and though Captain Cotter in a recent article, has gone a long way towards clarifying it, I believe that the fundamentals of the subject are more difficult than this article suggests. A brief treatment of these, together with an indication of how they may be applied in practice, may be worth while.
