Prove the earth is round 2016-01-30

How could we set up and experiment to see the curve.

Form what we see so far the curve is 8 inches per mile?
So thought is set up a telescope and a target 1 mile away?

Percentage improvement 2010-08-26
From shahrukh:
Hi...

We had a web page that was taking 12 secs to load. Now it loads in 3 secs. What is the percentage of improvement or how much faster is it working now. TO me it looks like it is working 3 times faster or there is a 300% improvement in the loading time. However my client says its ((12-3)/12*)100 = 75% improved. Which seems illogical on the face of it.

Thanks for your help
