Still, if the goal is to find conjectures that are accessible to the general math-loving public that they may not have heard of before, I think the decimal expansion problem counts. Perhaps David Feldman can clarify whether he really means that 90% of non-number theorists haven't heard of the conjecture of which this happens to be a corollary, or whether he means something weaker than that. | |
