> Marcio, I got around to applying those techniques I have described to you earlier in this thread and arrived at a somewhat higher value than the 53.22 you quoted. My answer was 53.573533745 . How did you arrive at your value?

Very nice! I shall give it another go tomorrow. I got 53.22 using a calculator. No tricks, just typed the original double integral and got the result 2 min later. I set the calculator to work with 2 decimal places, otherwise it would take much longer to get to a 'better' result (like yours).
Thank you
