I would like to know where I can find any discussion on 
the simultaneous impact of n bodies/spheres, where n > 2. 
 
I am interested in possible ways of determining the 
resulting velocities ( even approximately ) or a clear 
explanation of why any such attempt is not possible.

Thanks.                 Replies to <c90jdf@uk.ac.ox.prg>.
