 I became nervous when I looked at my solution last night (there
 is a url to it). I stand by it, but wish to forewarn whoever
 eventually holds me to account on this one that my reasoning is
 not a strict proof. But it is not all that flakey or incorrect as
 far as it goes. It also provides me with a reductio ad absurdum
 of many other attempts. Simply because it certainly succeeds in
 concluding with a provably sensible figure (if not an optimum
 one?) and if any other attempt produces a larger figure, the
 smaller one that results from my reasoning can clearly prove that
 the argument to the larger figure must be faulty (without saying
 what is wrong).
