[seqfan] Re: Infinitely many N with C(2N, N) coprime to 105 - dodgy reference?

[jean-paul allouche]

Hi

In the paper http://arxiv.org/pdf/0811.2028v1.pdf
(penultimate page), appeared in Acta Arithmetica
(see http://journals.impan.pl/cgi-bin/doi?aa140-1-2),
the authors allude to a 1000$ prize promised by
R. Graham for the solution of this problem.
It could be easy to know whether this amount of money
was given to Betts or not.
