Hi Mark,

The apex error works out to be about 170ft +/- 15ft, something like that. (These numbers comes from linking Khufu/Khafre with their 'corresponding' stars, whence the error is from the apex of Menkaure and it's 'star'.) When we looked at the link between the east sides (i.e. Mortuary Temples; false doors) the error range came down to (quoting from the article):

... c.43 ft +/- 14.8 ft. Translating this through the average ratio of 3.90045 in/arcsec suggest an error of c.0.03675 arc° +/- 0.012694 arc°
