Money and time. I'm sure you could straight-up pay some of the qualified mathematicians to figure it out, but you'd need to make it worth their while. Offer to buy out their salary for a couple of years, plus hire them a few postdocs and grad students to further their own projects, and I'm sure a few would be happy to help. But it would cost the better part of $1M for each guy.
