My best guess would be Hadamard matrix ..... but I have no clue to who may have cracked it.

OK. Here's one for you. There is a mathematical formula, or wh**ever it's called. It has remained unsolved for several decades. The best mathematicians were completely stumped. Someone recently solved it. Can you tell me what it was and who solved it?

I made some corrections in my previous reply that might help you narrow it down.

X squared plus Y squared equals Z squared, Fermat's Last Theorem??? But, that was not solved recently.... I think that was in the early 1990s... a mathematician from Scotland...I think.
In other words....I am still guessing!!!

EDIT: Actually, it has remained unsolved for 350 years. That might help you narrow it down. And it was a theorem, not a formula.

Oh, it is math and unsolved. It would be 2 + 2 = 5. That is the extent of my math abilities. :lol: 8-) :mrgreen: :hunf:

At least you have a firm answer... unless our host tell me the answer....I will be thinking about it all night!!

Actually, you got it right. And 1994 is recent compared to how long it has remained unsolved. The Theorem was
In number theory, Fermat's Last Theorem (sometimes called Fermat's conjecture, especially in older texts) states that no three positive integers a, b, and c can satisfy the equation an + bn = cn for any integer value of n greater than two.
That didn't copy and paste correctly. The N's are exponents.
I believe the proof of this theorem ran 350 pages. Pretty incredible, if you ask me.

For me, I do math on a calculator, redo on paper and do again on my fingers and toes. My major educational achievements were providing the lowest math score on standardized tests in Virginia in my ninth year of school and the highest in general subjects in my ninth year. My father actually looked at me during the conference concerning the scores and said, Did you answer a single question on the math portion?" He was a CPA and could do ALL math in his head. You have no idea how much it cost my loving parents in math tutors throughout my entire educational studies. Think tuition for two years at somewhere like Duke. :shock: :shock: :shock: :( :-( :| :(

Okay, what is 4 x 8? I can vaguely think of the answer. :shock: :lol: :roll:

Should I use common core math to answer that?

LOL! Oh dear! That was a good one. You'd better duck. Frying pans inbound.

I still can not recall who solved the problem. And that worries me, I used to remember every word of every conversation or book I ever read. Now, I have to think about what I had for breakfast.... a mind is such a terrible thing to misplace! :lol: So... we are one for one. Now how about a nonmath problem.... Math is not the favorite subject for most people....
Was it Richard Taylor of Princeton and Andrew Wiles... or ???
