Abstract
A problem first discussed in 2011 resurfaced when another colleague recently mentioned using it for a research project. On reacquainting with the problem, a comprehensive solution to some remains of the problem was obtained. This paper further postulates that it needed persistence of cognition and of effort to engender a reacquaintance and a resolve to find closure.
