The report by Walkington, "Quadrature on Simplices of Arbitrary 
Dimension" has a quadrature rule on tets that is exact for polynomials 
of degree 5, and has 15 points (i.e., see Table 2.1, but note that the 
15th point is the w_0 point), but it looks like it's not the quadrature 
rule used in the code. The report is located here: 
http://www.math.cmu.edu/~nw0z/publications/00-CNA-023/023abs/
and it is cited in the libmesh source code for fifth order gauss 
quadrature on triangles.

On a related note, I've been using the 4th order quadrature rule on tets 
with 11 quadrature points, does anyone know where that one came from?

Cheers,
Dave
