(In reply to Another Viewpoint by Richard)

Thanks to the   plethora of techniques underlined by Richard in terms of his post “Another Viewpoint”  enabling  me to verify to my satisfaction that  my methodology culminating  in a solution to the generalized version of this problem was indeed accurate.
 Consequently, I have updated the  texts constituting my post ” Generalised Result: Detailed Solution Not Given” (on 2006-04-14 <st1:time Hour="12" Minute="28">12:28:12</st1:time>).<o:p></o:p>
