| Mar 30, 2017 at 23:28 | comment | added | Igor Rivin | Someone downvoted this? Weird. | |
| Mar 25, 2017 at 1:52 | comment | added | Igor Rivin | @zibadawatimmy Hard to answer, since some of these are somewhat open-ended. | |

| Mar 25, 2017 at 1:15 | comment | added | Igor Rivin | @JosephO'Rourke Hard to tell. Thurston had a certain vision of things, and he had absolutely no doubt that the Geometrization Conjecture (question 1) was true. Moreover, he told me in the late '80s that he believed iit would be settled by curvature flow methods (as, indeed, it was). I am sure he did not have much doubt about question 24 either, although Joseph's first proof was quite complicated and used post-Thurstonian machinery. | |

"second" is ambiguous here, so... Numbered consistently.
