I was getting 76 degrees as an apex angle each time I multiplied the sum of my four base sides by .16. Since Ra stated this is the most dangerous configuration possible, I was getting frustrated as to why their stated equation always produced an angle of 76 degrees! So I decided to put it aside.. :-)
(To answer/clarify an 11 year old post)
This appears to be exactly what Ra was directing, but also to not go inside this ideal ratio pyramid to avoid the Kings Chamber effect. Angles under 70 (so larger ratio perimeter) would have some benefits and would not be dangerous.
