By keeping track of many of these histories, we could answer a lot of questions about what comes
out the far side of the plate, but it should be recognized that these are all bookkeeping extensions to
the problem – the physics itself already accomplished with EGS5 and the relatively small amount
of user code listed above. The scoring routine for this problem is the simplest possible; namely, it
outputs on the file some of the parameters of the various particles leaving the plate.
