I couldn't find 'potatoy geometry' for a better approximation of earth.
You'll note that I already assumed that they were on a plane, not the surface of a sphere.
I'm also noting the stick up your ass. 🙄
If the potato remark and subreddit don't tip you off that I was being flippant, I don't know what will.
No, the stick would be a one-dimensional line.
