| Jul 8, 2016 at 20:07 | comment | added | Todd Trimble | Okay, it seems clear after the last comment and edit this is not meant as a "challenge", any more than any other question. At least not in the sense of "I have a wonderful proof; can you match it?" Rather, OP is dissatisfied with his/her solution and wants to know if one can improve on it. So I will vote to reopen, but of course we don't know if we can do better without some idea of that solution. So I'd like to ask the OP to furnish more details of the solution at hand. | |

the question was on "hold", so perhaps rephrasing helps.

| Jul 8, 2016 at 16:03 | comment | added | T. Amdeberhan | The OP's strategy involved piecing together inequalities and some asymptotics, etc. Not neat. Hence, the reason why the question is raised here. I look forward to a method which could complement or better that of Fedor Petrov. By the way, it would be nice to let go of the "hold". | |

| Jul 8, 2016 at 12:20 | comment | added | Gerald Edgar | Perhaps you have confused us with that other place math.stackexchange.com , where problems with known answer are sometimes allowed. | |
| Jul 8, 2016 at 11:54 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | The last sentence makes it sound like you already know this to be true. If so, then it's not really a question for this site. It certainly may still be interesting and worth sharing, but in a paper / preprint / blog / problems column instead. | |

| Jul 8, 2016 at 10:56 | comment | added | Francesco Polizzi | I do not understand. Is this a problem or a challenge? In the second case, please note that MO is devoted to questions, and that challenges are not well-received here. | |
