Assuming that traffic is proportional to population density along the line, I would assume that the traffic delay inside "inside-out" city is not three times as bad. |
While I give applause for the code block, I'm wondering how you came to 1705/495 for "inside-out"/"outside-in" respectively? For one thing, F-10 shows a value of "0"? 
I'd be interested in knowing the difference in water surface area between the two.
