This is just for fun. You can assume you retain full use of your faculties. I don't have anything to add to the question, although that may change depending on the responses. The twenty year time period is arbitrary.

    $\begingroup$ Harry -- I also have several technical questions I'd very much like to see answered. But I don't seriously think that what prevents people from answering those is them spending hours trying to figure out a clever question to come up with on mathoverflow after 20 years is a coma. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @algori: the potential to generate interesting answers is not a valid reason to keep a question open. As we've discussed on meta multiple times, almost any question has this property. $\endgroup$ Jul 10, 2010 at 17:21
