In this test, inhabitants of Egypt will attempt to discover new heavenly bodies by the use of observatories. The test is passed when you have discovered a heavenly body.
A person may build a maximum of 7 observatories, although ownerships may be transferred making it possible for 1 person to own more than 7. An observatory must be build in a height of at least 200.
In order to make an observation, the center and radius of focus is specified in (x,y,r) coordinates, x and y being angular coords, and r the angular radius. An observation takes a week (RL time). The information gained will be the number of heavenly bodies within the view field, and the amount of light received.
A heavenly body is discovered if you can specify a point on the disc (i.e. any point within the distance of radius r from the center) and the total amount of light received from the heavenly body. This can be done by a university of thought once a day.
