Shinelle:he's not, actually. Solving a mathematical problem means using mathematical methods to arrive at an answer. So, when he solved the puzzle, he provided the answer. And they knew the answer was correct because there was no error in his calculations. He doesn't know how math works. And it seems, neither do you. 1 Like |

there are some maths problems that are about theorems and proving them,so if the person claims to have found the proof,then the theorem will be used to test the proof..this page may not even contain the theorem,let alone the supposed proof CallPolice: |

Teempakguy: Guy,,indeed! you're smart by using the appropriate words here. The truth is the answer and method of solving it was already known but they needed to put the students to test. Hence the result today |

Infomizer: 1. No mathematical question like what's up there exists. 2. Whoever on planet Earth sets an examinable question with this vague phrase "Find the answer"? 3. This "test/examination" must be a one question examination. 4.The "teacher's" handwriting in setting the question is the same as the handwriting of the "student" that answered the question. And finally... 5. The "test maker" (I mean the person that wrote in red ink) is a primary school learner. Its not worth the effort, but I just needed to point out your folly. Cheers |

Kudos to him for making the country proud out there since he got awards apart from solving the puzzle. Oga poster was he received privately by the president in the villa? Cos neither the president nor the vp was present at the dinner. VP was at the morning session and head of service in the evening for the dinner. He was celebrated as well as other diasporans making the country proud. |

Mznaett:that . . . might have been the case, but not neccesarily so. If it involved proving something, then it could have taken well over 30 years. Consider Fermat's last theorem. Ridiculously simple in statement. But was solved more then three hundred and fifity years later. in . . . . I think 2007. The initial proof had over 100 pages and involved proving two other seemingly vastly different and seemingly unrelated theorems. No one knew the answer prior to this. Same thing with the four color theorem, the poincare conjecture, and so on. Usually, no one knows the answer. But mathematics has this advantage, if you see the correct answer, you will know. Because there will be no errors. If the working is 100% correct, then it follows that the answer must be 100% correct. Simple logic. |
