To any here who are interested in or good at math, there is a contest going here (http://www.claymath.org/Millennium_Prize_Problems/), where if you can prove or disprove any of 7 theories, you win a million dollars (for a maximum prize of $7 million). Me and a friend of mine will be trying to win... so you'd better hurry if you want to compete with us. ;)

PS. Yes they are hard, noone has proven/disproven them yet, and some of them have been around for almost 200 years. (I think the oldest one was originally theorized in the 1820's)

Hey NeoDevin, no fair to the rest, let people know the problems can be found at
http://www.claymath.org/millennium/
If you happen to solve one of these problems you will have a(cushy?) university job for life making 6 figures a year as well. A great way to fund a dancing addiction.

Sorry, they rearranged their site the day after I posted this, I figured it wasn't worth fixing since noone seemed interested. ... I'm thinking I'll try the P =? NP problem.

I would too, but I haven't had the time to procrastinate recently.

Excuses, excuses . . . clearly you are just not a very good procrastinator! :wink:
