[size=18pt]Will solving the maths puzzle take Nigeria to the Moon?
Will solving the maths puzzle create a Nigerian answer to Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, IBM?
Will solving the maths puzzle create or invent an amazing thing that will benefit Nigerians and the rest of humankind?
If the answer is YES, congratulations.
But if the answer is NO, nothing to cheer about.

Geniuses solve problems of humankind and not mere puzzles.[/size]

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.



At first sight,this approach sounds life-saving because it eliminates the need for a subjective decision. But then there is a question. How do we know that this prove this people make is correct? Well,we know it cuz we've proved it lol

Mathematics,undoubtedly is more exact than any other science,N/B It is not 100% exact o. We can't be 100% sure that a mathematical theorem holds; we just have good reasons to believe it.

How do they know the answer if they couldn't solve it.

When it's applied it usually lead to a reasonable solution.

Hope that helps

Teempakguy:
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.

actually I do .. (thanks to my A1 )
but I guess you don't know how Sarcasm works and neither does the dumb one who quoted me also!
