Man, I love spring time in Kansas 
With the sound of music?
Kansas has a hill?
Just one. For about 20 minutes. In 1960.
Hey, the Flint Hills are nice. They’re not as awe inspiring as Mt. Sunflower but, really, how many things are?

BTW, here’s a picture of a range burning that’s not unlike what’s going on just up the road:

You’ve never walked around KU if you think Kansas has no hills.
Nor have you learned to drive a stick in this town.
Nah, if it’s fire the hills are alive with the sound of death metal.
How do you solve a problem like Green Eyed Stranger?
But we don’t set our hills on fire. In fact, the very idea of Kansas hills burning makes me want to launch a reprisal raid into Missouri. No doubt those devils are behind it all.
You could always break him down into smaller, easier to solve problems

That’s exactly what I was thinking: Separation of variables. Then, depending on the symmetry involved, you use either Legendre polynomials or Bessel functions, exploiting the orthogonality of the function sets to determine the coefficents based on the boundary conditions.
I was thinking more along the lines of chopping and sorting the pieces into small piles, but I like your way better.
