Abstract: The question was asked: Is it possible to express the function �egin{equation} ag{1.1} h(a)equiv,{_4F_3}(a,a,a,a;2a,a+1,a+1;1) label{question} end{equation} in closed form? After considerable analysis, the answer appears to be "no", but during the attempt to answer this question, a number of interesting (and unexpected) related results were obtained, either as specialized transformations, or as closed-form expressions for several related functions. The purpose of this paper is to record and review both the methods attempted and the related identities obtained (specifically new ${}_4{F}_3(1)$, ${}_5{F}_6(1)$ and (generalized Euler) sums containing digamma functions) - the former for their educational merit, since they appear to be not-very-well-known, the latter because they do not appear to exist in the literature.
