Third time’s a charm: just weeks after cracking an elusive problem involving the number 42, mathematicians have found a solution to an even harder problem for the number 3.
Check your numbers on the List of Entries and please report any discrepencies within 48 hours, after then the List is final and we choose the draw date.
Charity Engine is delighted to assist Stephen Wolfram with this groudbreaking project, attempting to solve a 100-year old question that has been described as a "Holy Grail" in mathematics; Emil Post's 'Problem of Tag".
Over a quintillion computations so far, and we're just getting started...
