Failure of the square-root pattern for the three-legged spider constant

From papers

Let CnC_n denote the spider constant for a spider with nn legs, so that the explicitly computed values are C0=1C_0=1, C1=2C_1=\sqrt{2}, and C2=3C_2=\sqrt{3}. Failure of the square-root pattern. The pattern Cn=n+1C_n=\sqrt{n+1} does not hold for n=3n=3. The claim concerns the first case beyond the explicitly solved values and is based on simulation approaches; the source does not provide a proof or a replacement value for C3C_3.
