No idea.

An exact result can be obtained tremendously faster by using a symbolic approach
to the evaluation of the integral. It would require that I implement
polynom-manipulation software, which is significantly more complicated to
program than the Monte-Carlo method. I may do it if I find the time, and people
tell me they want it.
