UPDATE (3 November): Many readers have tried to solve this
month's riddle by use of certain special functions (which I will name in the
solution) that were developed long after Leibniz's death and are very powerful
in tackling the sort of problems he was interested in.
If you are familiar with these special functions -- you know who you are -- consider yourself as having prior knowledge of this riddle, and not eligible to appear on the solvers' list this month. Apologies to all who are affected by this.
