I am soon going to interview a New Hampshire mathematician about this paper with the above title, which contains sentences like “Although we have been unable to find any reference for an explicit series zero of the general polynomial with a closed-form hyper-Catalan coefficient, we’ve found formulas for the coefficients of series reversions that are similar to our polynomial zero result as early as McMahon, 1894” and, of course, lots of symbols (and diagrams!)
Will I make sense of it enough to write a column? Check back next week and see.

I look forward to your attempt.
I’m trying to picture the “hyper-Catalan coefficient” and am coming up only with a very Spanish way of doing something with a partner and without wasted effort — but that doesn’t sound possible… on the other hand, I do relate to “zero result.”
