May 15, 2017 at 15:07 comment added Gerhard Paseman @Joel, I concur. I think the question needs improving by noting a specific challenge arising from the problem consideration. If the poster had said something like "I tried modifying the other proof, but at step blah, I could not see lemma.", that would give experts more clue as to the difficult portion and more students and other readers a specific item to consider and appreciate. To me, that would help frame an answer more useful than a solution: it would provide a means to teach or help understand the challenge being faced.
