    Not sure if other news outlets are running this story/challenge, but I'm sure there are some. Riemann hypothesis: Unsolved math problem worth $1 million[^] According to the article:

    Quote:

    In 2000, the Riemann hypothesis was designated as a Millennium Problem, one of seven mathematical problems that are deemed to be crucial to increasing and disseminating mathematical knowledge. Anyone who solves any one of the seven Millennium Problems is entitled to the million-dollar bounty.

      What? That old thing again? Edit: The Riemann hypothesis is noteworthy for its appearance on the list of Hilbert problems, Smale's list, the list of Millennium Prize Problems, and even the Weil conjectures, in its geometric guise. Although it has been attacked by major mathematicians of our day, many experts believe that it will still be part of unsolved problems lists for many centuries. Hilbert himself declared: "If I were to awaken after having slept for a thousand years, my first question would be: Has the Riemann hypothesis been proved?" (Wikipedia)

        I'm just surprised that no one has solved any of these 7 math problems for $1 million. I mean, that's a lot of money, even in 2023. 7+ billion people on earth - there has to be someone smart enough to solve these problems. This challenge is 23+ years old now.

              42 was in 1900 and because of inflation it's 1528.45 today. I win!

                Have heard that there're many unproved theorems proposed by the Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. Not sure whether any of them have prizes for proving.

                  You should have used inflation from 1979.... No win. :( :laugh:
