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).
