The mathematician Paul Erdős, for example, famously doled out his questions to students and colleagues, some of which are unsolved to this day. [1] The Clay Mathematics Institute has its list of seven Millenium Problems, [2] six of which remain unsolved. Among these is the P = NP problem, [3] a fundamental question in computational...
