ZeX's Little Island of Tiles, Washboards, and Digital Stuffings

So today I received the most annoyingly simply and difficult problem ever. It's basically a puzzle game that I already have the answer for--I'm number crunching the Ephemeris Problem for Vesta. It's basically a ton of algebra, with the only problem being accuracy. And with my inclination to not like programming, I'm left to the tedium of carrying up to 9 significant figures through my calculations (just 6 post decimal point, so with up to three prior that point...), lest my final answer diverge and I lose.

This basically means that my looked forward to weekend where I don't have an exam on Monday, still isn't free. Guess I should get off of the internet and get to this shit.
