Subject: Teenager's new ODE solution; where's Lie Theory?

After thinking about this for a couple of days, I seem to recall that there
was already a decision procedure for ODE's based on Lie Theory. (Olver, et al).
Obviously, I must have been wrong.
Does anyone here understand why Lie Theory wasn't able to solve the system
of equations for trajectories with quadratic air resistance?
