This is really not an answer at all, it borders on insulting. In fact, it is almost worthy of a complaint, but I shall not be making one in this case.

Please give your real calculation, using real physics and real numbers for the discrepancy in the mass/density/whatever of Mars. I'm sure it's a good deal simpler than calculating the Earth's precession of equinoxes. Give it a try.
