An institution has offered a $1 million prize to anyone who can solve a famous math problem that has puzzled mathematicians for more than a century.
The Riemann hypothesis, first proposed by German mathematician Bernhard Riemann in 1859, is considered to be one of the hardest and most important unsolved problems of pure mathematics — the study of thinking about maths, rather than applying it to the real world.
The hypothesis is based on the Riemann zeta function, also attributed to Bernhard Riemann. It states: “The real part of every nontrivial zero of the Riemann zeta function is 1/2”. The answer to the Riemann hypothesis is a simple “yes” or “no”, but there are many hypothetical ways to get there, all of which are extremely difficult.

Divide by zero.

I take that back -- it's simple. There is NO real part of a Biden and every part of a Biden is trivial.

How much loot did Brandon get in chicom bribes? No one will be able to figure it out.
Use girl math!!
I have a better shot of winning $1M playing the lottery.
The answer to the Riemann hypothesis is a simple “yes” or “no

So, I say ‘yes’.
And I say ‘no.’
Divide my 1 million by half; one of my answers is correct.
Go to arXiv.org, the preprint server used by mathematicians and physicists. Type “Riemann Hypothesis” in a title search and you will find a half-dozen claimed proofs. This puzzle is so difficult that people can’t even agree on whether a claimed solution is valid or bogus.
This is math so it’s a slice of pi.
The answer is 42.
Where is my 1M?
Can AI solve it?
The Riemann hypothesis is no.
As explained by South African mathematician Peter Sarnak: “If (the Riemann Hypothesis) is not true, then the world is a very different place … In a way, it would be more interesting if it were false, but it would be a disaster because we’ve built so much around assuming its truth.”
Our world is very different than even a few years ago and while it is more interesting as in the ancient Chinese curse – My you live in interesting times-, our world is headed to a disaster.
Before I blamed the Deep State and the New World Order but now I understand that the Riemann Hypothesis is not true.
Yes.
Divide 1 by 2 to infinity.
Where’s my million?
