A Texas banker is upping the ante to $1 million for whoever solves a tricky problem that’s been dogging mathematicians since the 1980s.

The Providence, Rhode Island-based American Mathematical Society (AMS) on Tuesday said $1 million will be awarded for the publication of a solution to the Beal Conjecture number theory problem.

Dallas banker D. Andrew Beal first offered the Beal Prize in 1997 for $5,000. Over the years, the amount has grown.

too many hard maths problem's that have been unsolved yet.!!
this isnt stuff for those not steeped in maths. i.e like 20 year+ experience meditating on
it.
Goldbach's conjecture tagged for 1million when a book on it was to be published and it still wasnt claimed!!.
Field medalists are bulking at the problems how much more lay men!!.
