10915 - War on Weather

 * http://acm.uva.es/p/v109/10915.html

Summary
Given a sphere (the Earth), a set of points S (satellites) outside the sphere and a set of points T (targets) on the boundary of the sphere, determine how many points in T are "visible" from at least one point in S.

Explanation
Simple O(km) algorithm works. For each point in T, check whether it's visible from every point in S.

A point P is visible from point Q, if the shortest distance from the line segment PQ to the sphere's center is greater than or equal to the sphere's radius.

Trivia
GW, perhaps, could also mean George W. (Bush) ;)
