Is there a reference, that I can use, for predicting high/low tide from the water line height? I don't want to construct a solution based on the test suite data.

We can use derivatives for predicting the high tide (diff) when we can assume that a function is increasing or decreasing (even with some noise).

Lots of ways to get the right answer for this test suite...but I think this is one of the silliest.
