Status of the Solar Neutrino Puzzle

Abstract

Using the latest results from the solar neutrino experiments and a few standard assumptions, I show that the popular solar models are ruled out at the 3$\sigma$ level or at least TWO of the experiments are incorrect. Alternatively, one of the assumptions could be in error. These assumptions are spelled out in detail as well as how each one affects the argument.
