A statement in the question that X, Y, Z research was performed but that nothing resulted from said research, would have sufficed. As it stands, the question indeed shows no research effort. | |
| Nov 12, 2016 at 14:45 | comment | added | Richard | @LightnessRacesinOrbit - The fact that the top answer required parsing the original paper (from 1913) would suggest that a non-trivial amount of effort was required. Also it would appear that the most obvious source (wikipedia) may be incomplete/incorrect. | |

| Nov 12, 2016 at 9:26 | comment | added | Richard | @LightnessRacesinOrbit - In fairness to the OP, I spent thirty seconds googling the question and didn't immediately find the answer in the first two links. | |
