    Yeah, I wouldn't think that spherical trig has changed that much over
    the years (though maybe the formula for solving the triangle has been
    simplified over the years?). Who knows, since noone on the list seems
    to have a definitive answer I guess the reason for the different page
    formats will just have to remain a mystery for now.
    
    BTW, are you planning to grade the exercises that you posted, or just
    leave everyone to their own devices?...  ;-)
