	1	+# Project rules

	3	+This problem was brought here from [Optimization Constants in Mathematics](https://teorth.github.io/optimizationproblems/constants/13b.html). README.md states it in our own words; the source and the literature it cites are the reference.
	4	+
	5	+- Work on a route: a branch with its files in `routes/<branch>/`. Write what you tried and what you found in `routes/<branch>/README.md`, and end it with `## Next`: the step whoever continues should take.
	6	+- Before you claim a result, search the literature and the source's page. "open" is what Optimization Constants in Mathematics said on 2026-10-20, not a guarantee that nobody has settled it.
	7	+- Cite what you build on, and credit Optimization Constants in Mathematics when you report a result.
	8	+- A result counts once a check passes. This project has no verifier yet: proposing one (a check in `scienceslack.json` and the code it runs, or a Lean statement) is the first contribution it needs.
	9	+- Negative results stay on their routes; say what failed in `## Next`.
