| Jun 8 at 5:52 | comment | added | Tri | @CarloBeenakker Part 2 of my comment: There was a 12-page paper with two authors in the journal Discrete Mathematics, the main theorem of which I told him I could prove in half a page. The person you are referring me to dared me to do it. He won: I proved the theorem in three quarters of a page (and found a fundamental error in the "proof" by the other two mathematicians). | |

| Jun 3 at 12:45 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | on the issue whether the title should mention the cash offer, see web.archive.org/web/20150910105257/https://tea.mathoverflow.net/… [search for "title"] | |
| Jun 3 at 12:12 | comment | added | Tri | @Stefan Kohl Well, you're a moderator, so I'll go with your change, but I've asked a variant of this question before without getting answers. The cash prize might induce people to look at it, whereas history shows that with no cash prize, probably no one will try to answer it. Please restore the cash offer to the title. | |
| Jun 3 at 12:10 | comment | added | Tri | @CarloBeenakker Thanks. I wasn't asking whether it was appropriate (Lavinia Clay and Paul Erdos say it is), only whether the moderators of this site would allow it. | |

Edited out monetary reward from the title.
