    Perhaps a better question would be, "What are the odds that our true
    position is actually in the triangle?"
    
    Try this. Look at the LOPs that form cocked hat. Now think what the
    error in each LOP might be.  Perhaps plus/minus 2 tenths of a mile to
    either side? Now draw lines parallel on either side of each LOP 0.2
    miles away. The results will create a larger and smaller triangle than
    than you started with. Anything within the larger triangle but outside
    the original cocked hat is also quite possible. If I recall threads from
    the past, you have a higher probability of being outside the cocked hat
    than it it.
    
    I'll try to find the thread that. Any help locating the thread would be
    appreciated.
