Buggrit. Build a grid of resistors a few meters square and pull out the multimeter.
That works fairly well, as things converge quickly.
Wait, so if I want to solve it myself, I shouldn't read the text in the great-grandparent of this comment?
Well, yes, that's why I rot13d it. I'll unrot13 the beginning which will provide a clear warning.
I'm not wnoise, but yeah, you probably wouldn't want to read the (now great-)great-grandparent. Put it this way: the first 5 words are 'The canonical method is to.' (I read it anyway 'cuz I'm spoiler resistant. I don't think my math/EE aptitude is enough to carry out the method wnoise gives.)
Thanks!
