The slight modification of time t in the statement of the problem to 
shut up smart aleck dickheads about latency in arrival of explosion 
effect, would be this:

1- what would be the coordinates of the point in the sky, that the 
missile with the weakest warhead needs to explode at, at time (t 
-delta), to damage all those 5 fighter jets critically enough, by the 
time t?

2- within what maximum radius of that explosion, any fighter jet would 
get critically damaged by the time t?


Delta is the time required for damaging effects of the explosion to 
reach all five jet fighters by the time t. It is determined by the 
missile's own software and is not part of this problem.
