Dear Janna,

For those who may not be so mathemathically inclined can (in most cases) subdivide a layout plan into 9 equal grids:-

If the toilet falls in the middle grid, then this is considered a handicap.

However, for the main door, one should still see where the mouth is (main door) in relation to the toilet at the frontage. It is often, the flow of qi from this two (main door with toilet) that brings in sha qi.

Frankly, for myself, as Robert and myself view as many as 30 layouts a day, perhaps, it would be easier for us to use visual cues - as this is faster:)

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
