Heh. Good luck with that. If some sadist made me do it, I'd ignore the hydrogens, figure out what the volume of a carbon atom was based on its van der Waals radius, subtract a bit since a carbon-carbon bond is shorter than the sum of the vdW radii of the carbons, and then divide the volume by that to get the number of carbons n. Number of hydrogens is then 2n + 2.

What is the height of a cylinder when only given the volume and radius?

Since the formula for the volume of a cylinder is PI time the radius squared times the height we can calculate the height from the other two values. The height is the volume divide by PI times the radius squared.
