This is more obscure than other values that I baldly assert. Consider a parallelepiped with four unit square faces, and two rhombuses faces with an angle of α. Drop that 106 times and see how many times it falls on the corner with angle α. I claim that it falls on one of those 4 particular corners about (((π − α)/π)8)106 times. That corner is locally congruent with the corner of the imagined room. 4π is the whole set of directions in 3D and thus the magnitude of said corner is 4π(((π − α)/π)8) = (π − α)/2. There are two such corners in said exercise, thus π − α.
