You might try to tough out a solution without it, but I think you will find it most practical to start with a particular individual (usually a common sight, but not common in this paragraph.) Go to work on solving this, all you cunning cryptologists!

Nice Mindrod, you did it again.  I wonder if you can keep it up till the end.

So, this is what happened in the queue: The probelm's title is Lonhard.  To check the problem, I googled Lonhard and Google said: do you mean Leonhard.  I accepted that suggestion and came at Leonhard (Euler).  Mindrod still has that faulty keyboard that does typo's and I asked if the problem's title shouldn't be Leonhard.  About two minutes later I realised that I had solved halve of the problem, only by luck, not knowledge.  After it became public, I waited a couple of days.

All thi sto tell that the problem has to do with "e", 2.71 or something like that.  I'll look into this deeper later.

PS: read Mindrod's comments and admire how carefully she avoids using e.  I just challenged here to keep up the good work till the end.  That should keep her busy.
