Leming, when you first saw this proposal I recall that you thought that I was underselling its difficulty.

The difficulty, I think I said at that time was perception rather than mathematics.  May I compliment you on a great break down of the object and assessment of it parts?

I also seem to recall that even then i could have been making an overstatement.

Prior to making public my personal solution, and I do not slight your efforts because I went down that same path.  Shortly afterwards I realised that there was a somewhat more intuitive solution. 

I'll wait a day or two to see if we can get something less formal by way of explanation; don't get me wrong, everything Leming says is inherent in my solution.
