Omphalabyrinth math. (I was told there would be no math)

Table # 1 - Omph Strength from previous years:
1896 Athens 1.1% lowest value
1920 Antwerp 11.3% highest value

Table # 2 - Omph Strength calculation
Labyrinth needs to be a minimum of 3 stadia, and 3 circuits.
K1 + K2 + K3 ... + K27. K = (C x S)/6
C = Circuits
S = Size in Stadia
To measure circuits, start from the outside, count the paths to the center, don't count the center.

Table # 3 - Philadelphia Labyrinth Data (1920)
Listed as Node 16 on the map
5 circuit
1.85 miles from corner to corner (1.25 miles from side to side)
1.85 miles = 3 km = 3000 m
1 stadia = 185m
3000 m = 16 stadia
so K16 = 5 x 16 / 6 = 13.3

Table #4 - Minimum Labyrinth
3 circuit, 3 stadia
3 x 3 / 6 = 1.5

In 1896 they got a Omph Strength of 1.1%. 1.1 is less than 1.5
And in 1920 they got a Omph Strength of 11.3%. 11.3 is less than 13.3.
It is obvious that the Omph Strength as calculated using the (CxS)/6 forumula has to be greater than 100.
If the goal was 135, then 1896 ran the bare minimum 3 circuit, 3 stadia omphalabyrinth.
If the goal was 118, then 1920 ran only the philadelphia omphalabyrinth.

However, my guess is since Philadelphia was Node 16, and the 1920 agonothetai spent years working on the 1920 task, that Philadelphia wasn't the only omphalabyrinth.
Guess 1 = goal was 135, and 1920 was Philadelphia plus a 3 circuit, 4 stadia labyrinth (although that seems pitiful)
Guess 2 = Philadelphia was the largest, and there were 15 3 circuit, 3 stadia labyrinths, for a total strength of 13.3 + 22.5 = 35
So the goal is 310.

If the Goal is only 135, then we need to average a strength of 5 - so a 5 circuit 6 stadia labyrinth.
If the Goal is closer to 310, then we need to average 11.5 - so a 5 circuit 14 stadia labyrinth (Philadelphia sized)

The heart of the matter is that we have to be 9 times better than the 1920 crew, who spent years working on this.
If we think Jorge & Co. failed miserably - just 2 labyrinths, then we just need 27 labyrinths with 5 circuit, 6 stadia.
If we think Jorge & Co. got half the needed labyrinths, most of which were undersized, then we need 27 labryinths about the size Philadelphia.
If Jorge & Co. had multiple Philadelphia sized labyrinths, then we need 27 labyrinths that are larger than Philadelphia.

Mei finally replied after 10 YEARS (well, she said so ) and asked me if I would like to come to New York's June 7 Laby training which is impossible cause I can't swim that far!

I got the same type message from MeiHui today. Since I asked her about the people she practiced with, she also told me
