DESCRIPTION:Mathematics is typically thought of as a solitary pursuit\, an
 d indeed it often is: \na mathematician may work for years on a problem\, 
 telling nobody about the work until the problem is solved.  \n\nHowever\, 
 this way of operating is inefficient in many ways\, and the internet has r
 ecently provided the opportunity to experiment with many new ways of worki
 ng.  \n\nI shall describe an experiment that I conducted\, the aim of whic
 h was to solve a mathematics problem in the open\, on the internet\, and w
 ith the help of anybody who was interested in participating.
