You have three nonlinear (fourth-order) equations and 23 unknowns.  A
faster computer won't help any.

Would someone with a very fast machine and lots of memory be willing to
try 
this Solve for me?
It is the inverse of the 20 node quadratic hexahedral mapping used in 
finite element analysis.
None of my computers can handle this - they run out of memory (using 
Version 4.2).
