Well, I could tell you how to solve it, but then I'd have to kill you.

1+1=2
Actually Euler proved that 1+1=74. Its just a myth, owing to the obscurity of such higher mathematics, that the answer is two.

I think I read somewhere you are also able to sell (the discovery of) prime numbers with a huge amount of digits, if you are looking for ridiculous ways to make money.

The Riemann Hypothesis cannot be truthful, since "as far as we know, all the nontrivial zeroes lie on 1/2 + bi for some b".

If you need it explained to you, you have no hope of solving it. There are thousands of people with PhD's in mathematics who are intimately familiar with the problem but haven't solved it... yet.
If someone knew the answer, wouldn't they submit the solution themselves?

I know... "explain it to me in layman's terms so I can solve what no other mathematician has, and in time to pay my bills too."
And the disclaimer "this is not a joke" lol
Obvious troll is obvious, but it's good for a laugh :)

Not if they didn't need the money - or the glory.

Or if it's been deemed important to keep the solution from the rest of you . . .

I wonder. If they keep digging him up, one of these times he might just walk off.
