comment Efficient code for the Ten True Sentences puzzle
Isnt that cheating to use part of the known solution? Anyway this would seem to lend itself to a genetic algorithm, or at least track solutions that have been tried so you dont repeat.

Better to create an array {x/h , y/h , z/h } initialized to all zero, then set to 1 each vozxel that a segment passes through. Unless of course its so big that you are memory limited.

comment Turn list of edges into a polygon function
nice -- suggest you edit to point out the assumptions, polygon must be convex and points must be ordered counter clockwise.

is this related to your earlier question? There are better ways of finding areas and centroids of polygons..

oops worked on that before i saw Danial's note. And it does indeed work with plain Integrate (which surprised me..)

comment Finding the centroid of the area between two curves
what is insuffieient is we don know how general the curves can be. Always monotonic functions of x with exactly two intersection points? Points guaranteed obtainable in closed form?

comment Randomly packing spheres of fixed radius within a cube
sorry..in my head that was outside the loop. Now i'm not sure that seeding the layer is necessary, you could find the mean z for each layer and move up a fixed amount. In the end i expect that seeding is a small part of the time though.
