I need the description of the "Cayetano Gaos" problem in the book Lola
Lago.  The book is online at
http://www005.upp.so-net.ne.jp/sigeki-spain/LOLA0-INDX.htm.  The
answer of the question is in pages 1-18.  The answer should be a
paragraph long.  You can answer in English...

Request for Question Clarification by sgtcory-ga on 23 Nov 2002 11:43 PST

Hello eksolutions,

We can offer links to the available pages as translated by a
translation tool. (Copying the text verbatim is against our
regulations.)

Are you saying you need all 18 pages, or just pages that make
reference to Cayetano Gaos?

When you say 'answer', are you saying the answer is the paragraph we
find, or do you need a paragraph about the Cayetano Gaos, seperate
from the results?

Many thanks for the clarification -

SgtCory

No no no...  I don't need a translation of the 18 pages or anything.

I'm only looking for the answer to the question "What is the Cayetano
Gaos problem?".  The question is referring to the book Lola Lago.  If
you read the first 18 pages of the book, you'll figure out the answer
to the question.

I need the answer to be a paragraph long.

Is this clear enough?

Fully understood now :-)

I think this question may be better suited for one of our native
Spanish speaking researchers. For me to translate all the pages, read
the story, and post an answer would take considerable time.

Let's see what some other researchers can come up with for you.

Thanks -

Hello eksolutions

Cayetano Gaos was the owner of an art gallery called “Acanto”.  A few
months before coming to see Lola, a private detective, he had bought
some paintings by a famous surrealist artist called Urpiano at an
auction in Barcelona for 50 million pesetas (about 300,500 euros). 
Urpaino's paintings were very similar in style to those of Salvador
Dali. Then Cayetano began to suspect that the paintings were
forgeries, however he did not think they were forgeries of paintings
by an artist called Urpiano.  His suspicion was that no painter called
Urpiano ever existed. He wanted Lola to help him prove this. Lola
decided to take on the case not only because Cayetano was willing to
pay her a good sum of money, but also because she found him rather
attractive.

Search strategy: I went to the link provided in the question and read
the first part of the story.

Thanks for the detailed answer...
