I didn't get that the terrestrial planet would have to be as hot as the gas giant - just have an effect on it's transit time. True, the closer the better but it may find out a bit further out. But even a toasty terrestrial would be something. My God what incredible precsion this requires!

The disappointing thing is that it can only observe low period orbit Hot Jupiter systems, where any Earth mass planets discovered will likely be toasty indeed.
