MC: Ping-Pong Cubes

[brickviking]

Considering I had alternatively considered solutions using logs and discarded same, ditto square roots, that was about as far as I had got into the MC at hand. The fact that not only has Valentin looked at the problem, but has possibly done pretty decent amounts of time into the problem means that finding the 11th APC is probably not as simple as a MC would ordinarily suggest. I might not understand the mathematics behind the research, but I can still appreciate the effort that went into it. About as close as I can get is to take the work thus presented, and hopefully massage it into something that R or at least Maxima accepts. Maybe throwing big iron at it might eventually cough up a result.
