You may have made a joke, but I made an edit clarifying that none of us should
work out the problem for the student and show the work in a post for the student,
because it is not a challenge problem.

Bless you Sir lookagain!
You perceive a joke in Sir HallsofIvy's post where my "euphoric" brain sees none.
Wouldst thou care to point out where lies the joke?

I'm wondering why the fact that this is NOT a "challenge problem" means I cannot do the problem! (Note that I did not post the solution.)

I made a further edit. No, it doesn't mean you cannot do and/or be discouraged from enjoying doing the problem for your own
sake.

There was a misunderstanding of my meaning.
