You're getting short with me, so first I'll reframe in a way that you can gain instead of scrap: I'll pay you $1000 if by 11:30 PM PST, you have de novo derived the N->infinity formulation using solely Mathematica and the initial problem.
I also have a physics background, and separately, have derived novel results in color science using Mathematica that led to a great effect on my career.
I wouldn't wish having to do that on anyone, it was awful work.
Independently of it being awful, I know it's extremely, extremely, unlikely to luck into this complex of a result, both in my opinion and seeming reality, here: if someone could have done it before, why didn't they?
If is that trivial, you'll prove it, make some money, and I'll understand that it really was that trivial, and we'll get some headlines out of it. Win-win, modulo I'll look like an ass.
If it isn't that trivial, you won't do it, and no one will notice this far down a thread. But you seem thoughtful, you'll likely grapple with the gulf between your flippant response and reality, and gain some insight. Win for you either way, in that case.
