\begin{quote} One of the most important parts of research is learning how to
frame a question in a good way, a way
that highlights the key features of the problem and allows us to then
apply our tools to solve it. This is not easy,
and this is often the step that requires the most creativity. --Jamie

REFEREE REPORT:
The result and methods are too close to what exists in the literature to
rise to the level of a research article; however, if the author is
interested I woudl suggest they consider converting this to a submission
for the Fibonacci Quarterly's problem section. This would entail isolating
a good question from their results and publishing just that, inviting
readers to submit (assuming the problem editors feel the proposed problem
is appropriate). If no one submits a solution in a certain period of time,
I believe the journal then publishes solutions by the proposer.
The submitted paper is a good fit for the Fibonacci quarterly. It's on a
subject of interest to many of its readers. I give only a high level
assessment here: the arguments appear valid and the conclusions are
reasonable given the methods employed. If a more detailed report is able
to confirm the validity of the arguments, I support publication in the
journal.
