In that case, let it be known that I am working on the Millennium Prize Problems. All of them. You better give me co-author if you solve one!
Nov 27, 2017 at 21:48 comment added user0100661 What if the problem does not come from Alice? If several people have already worked on it without discovering the answer? If Alice mentioned it to Bobby as an interesting problem that people care about? What happens if you discuss a problem with someone at a conference and then solve it without any of the ideas from that conversation? Honestly, I can think of more cases where it is definitely not a collaboration than where it is.
