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.
