He can crack a 99 year old math problem but accepting 1 million dollar is a hard decision..

Yeah i got a email from Claymath yesterday telling me Mr. Perelman submitted his proposed solution 1 hour before they got mine,.. i wish
[rolleyes] Ohh well, some days you lose, some days the others win

Crazy world we live in... where the smart need not be (nor want to be) rewarded, yet the dumb seem to be able to rake it in just fine anyway.

Cubase touched on the issue - Perelman doesn't really want the money nor the prize; it would seem that he couldn't care any less about the politics and ethics of modern mathematics.

I sent in a proof as well: "Well, no one has disproved it, so therefore the conjecture must be true"

They didn't respond. I guess that doesn't work in math or science.

I see what you did there...

I would pay that guy to get a proper haircut.. [no] The einstein look he's trying to pull off is not really that great.

It's kind of useless when it would take at least $1.5 million to get a ***** to blow that, he knows the value of a dollar.

In all fairness, the Einstein look Einstein tried to pull off was not really that great eithor..
