Given by the fact that the problem is 60 year old, isn't there a chance this was indirect solved already and the model just crossed informations to figure out the problem?

By looking the website this problem was never discussed by humans. The last comments were about gpt discovering it. I was expecting older comments coming to a 60 year old problem.

Am I missing something?

Great discovery though, there might be problems like that same case that worth a try for a "gpt check"
