Sounds like fitting the data to a curve.
Suppose we define an "Island", then work from Peter Montgomery's post
http://www2.netdoor.com/~acurry/mersenne/archive2/0032.html
and generate random data sets, then look for islands?
But first, *define* an island....I've never seen a definition.
Any takers?
As long as we're fitting data to a curve, how about substituting
pi/2 for 3/2? Perhaps something from
http://www.lacim.uqam.ca/pi/table.html ?
