The solution may one day lead to advances in particle physics and computer security.

It would seem to me it would be an advance in how to hack into systems.

Classic maths puzzle cracked

To me, the biggest puzzle is why the English say "maths" rather than "math"!

I saw Ken Ono give a talk on this. It's a very interesting result and excellent work, but I don't think worthy of a writeup in this magazine -- and such a bad one at that. They're not really telling what this means in any real sense.

I didn't know this was such a mystery. They should have asked me -- I worked this out years ago.

Ramanujan was truly one of the great talents. It's a pity that he wasn't lucky enough to be born into better circumstances to develop that talent.

Ramanajun (sp?) was freakishly smart. We will be trying to figure out his work and test his theories for many years to come.

who was born in India in 1887 and flunked out of college after just a year because he neglected his studies

Or maybe it was because he was only one year old?

How is it a "puzzle"? It's a coincidence, or a feature of mathematics but what is so puzzling about it? Tell me why math has this feature, and then you will be on to something. The article alludes to "why" but doesn't spell it out, and I don't think that it is possible to say why prime numbers have this feature, that's just the way it is.

Why do the British call it "maths" instead of "math"? What's plural about it? Generally, you're only engaging on one kind of math - algebra, geometry, calculus, trigonometry.
