Yes, I understand it is impossible to chose the "correct way" of determining the center. This week I learnt there are at least a handful of places claiming to be the "center" of Brazil, with monuments and whatnot.
The search for a solution is an interesting endeavor per se. Programming is supposed to be fun after all. Several things amazed me: . the variety of proposed methods. A guy in Germany collected the position and area of every county in Brazil and proceeded with the math. Another guy proposed to draw a map on carton paper, cut it and find the center of gravity. Etc; . the rich geographical data available for anyone to use; . the language packages and libraries to handle geographical data; . the enviable knowledge some people have on the matter; . the willing to learn a new topic just for the sake of it; . the unwillingness to learn a new topic just for the sake of it; Anyway, it was a delightful experience.
