I am going to leave the analytical for last. it will take a while and it is just going to hold me up at this point. The simulation approach that ARO uses will work just fine. 1000 or 10000 simulations should give a decent approximation, and be faster than Excel. I can finish that up this weekend and let people try it out. I can work on the analytical solution after that, though the math is hard and I don't expect to crack it without some nerd PHD help. We can chat about that later. If you have any ideas, send them over now! As a first step, you could explain the math in your spreadsheet, I was wondering how you derived them. Specifically why 19/60 instead of 1/3?
