little math problem October 2018

If both rovers are "blind", i.e. cannot locate it's position and communicate with eventually orbital module when visible, the fastest and dynamic way I can think of is that both go to one of designated magnetic pole.

That way both will not miss each other, both will move cutting searching time on half, saving energy... In worst case scenario, both together will cross less than D to the designated pole, with in less than (D/V)/2. The best case scenario, of course, is when both are close to the designated pole, when both will cross less than D/2 in less than (D/V)/4 time.

Indeed, some more details may result in better strategy...
