This week, we need to do work to address a component of our application that requires immediate attention. As a result, you may experience ERA to be intermittently available. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and thank you for your patience as we attend to the care and feeding of ERA!

Introduction: Some problems that are difficult for automated theorem provers (ATPs) are so merely because of their size, but not because of any logical or conceptual complexity. Examples of this type of difficult problem have been published in the past: see Pelletier [1986: problems 12, 29, 34, 38, 43, 51-53, 62, 66-68, and 71-74]. But there is another type of problem whose statement can be quite simple but whose proofs are nevertheless quite difficult for ATPs (and people) to find. This note gives an example of such a problem.
