I might check out the application myself later. I would LOVE to be on that show!!! And, actually, I would LOVE to be the mole!
If I could figure out a way to make sure my kids were well taken care of for a month, I'd do it in a heartbeat. That's a big 'if', though for someone whose never spent more than 1 night away from her kids, with the exception of one 1 week trip to Grandma's once.
Good luck, Kaffro! Let us know when you hear something.

The first episode I tagged Kathryn as the Mole. The editing was done so the focus was on other people not Kathryn as being the Mole. I figured the Mole wouldn't be overt in his/her attempts of sabotage and she did somethings that I thought would fit my suspicions of the mole's activites. And with each show I watched my suspicions were confirmed until the Monday night's show when I began to have self-doubt about my conclusions.

Who do you think actually cost the group more money? The Mole or the team of Jim and Steve? Jim and Steve were making costly mistakes constantly. They had all the subtlety of Laurel and Hardy.

A 7 radius ogive is, e.g. cal. .243", a .243" dia. bullet with an ogive radius of 7*.243 = 1.701". The longiutdinal arc formed by the ogive of a tangent ogive bullet is tangent to the a longitudinal straight line on the bullet bearing surface. The ogive of a secant ogive bullet intersects the bearing surface at a slight angle, typically 3 degrees or so. For a given caliber and bullet weight, the longer the ogive radius and smaller the meplat, or point diameter, the higher the ballistic coefficient which also results in longer bullets which tend to be more difficult to group tightly.
The term "driving band" applies more to artillery rounds which have a copper alloy band to engage the rifling. Pressure ring would be a term applying to swaged small arms bullets and is a ring at the base of the bullet of slightly larger diameter then the bullet bearing surface.
If you look at a Lapua 6mm 105 grain Scenar bullet you will see somewhat of an example of a double radius ogive. The ogive radius is constant from the bearing surface to a point
about .1" back from the meplat where you can see an abrupt change in the ogive curvature. The method of double radius ogives allows the ogive length to be reduced but provides a
low drag profile almost equal to a single radius ogive but with a greater length.
