Moderator Note: Once in awhile, vBulletin sends a post into the ether. I had to recreate Denis' post, after a failed post move. I hope I correctly remembered the text and smiley. Denis' original did not contain the quotation; I added that as a position reference (in the source thread).

And meanwhile no one has given the algebraic proof I could not find, nor shown that such a proof is impossible. You guys are too busy with gluttony to help me out. I really thought it was an interesting problem (which probably merely proves how little math I know). And save me a piece of stolen cake: like kisses, cakes are sweeter for being stolen.
