   So in 1997 I used 50 CERN experimental results which showed particle mass in   
   MeV, error   
   margin and charge of sub-atomic particles. I checked them against 10 Platonic   
   and   
   Archimedean solids using the number of polkadots on a polygon. With a Fortran   
   77 program   
   5000 tables were searched for best fit in 90 minutes on an IBM bog standard   
   PC. 20 years   
   later and 900 times faster with dual core 64 bit, it took 6 hours to search   
   5000 tables   
   for best fit against 4741 derived particles and 2724 solids of two polygons.   
   this time   
   using Fortran 95 with 40 decimal places and a NAG Perpetual Accademic License   
   which lets   
   me freely distribute ready to run software with a built-in run time library. A   
   commercial   
   license would have cost 10 times more. However there is still the problem of   
   the needle   
   in a haystack.
