Feb 23 at 18:29 comment added James Martin @BernardoRecamánSantos On Ed Pegg's FB page (in a comment to the relevant post) he says "I didn't find it. There's a chinese website devoted to the orchard problem, and the above was found after a multi-year search." I'm not sure what the right attribution would be, but apparently it doesn't originate with Ed himself.
