Want to thank all of you who responded to my question.

After consideration, I've decided that the "close enough" effort
(half way between 70 and 71, with a SLIGHT bump to 70) is
good for me.

As much as I would love to deal with a geometry question, my
math interests are more towards the theoretical these days (Riemann
Zeta Function anyone?), which can cause many hours of brain freeze.


If you solve the Hilbert problem, I will trust that you also know basic
plane geometry & trig...
