Hemisphere Network is the largest television network in Tumbolia, a small country located east of South America (or south of East America). The most popular sport in Tumbolia, unsurprisingly, is soccer; many games are broadcast every week in Tumbolia.
Hemisphere Network receives many requests to replay dubious plays; usually, these happen when a player is deemed to be offside by the referee. An attacking player is offside if he is nearer to his opponents' goal line than the second last opponent. A player is not offside if
●he is level with the second last opponent or
●he is level with the last two opponents.
Through the use of computer graphics technology, Hemisphere Network can take an image of the field and determine the distances of the players to the defending team's goal line, but they still need a program that, given these distances, decides whether a player is offside.
