Bill Dembski is offering the first person who completely resolves the following conjecture a $1000 cash prize. He needs it to be a completely error-free proof and will use it in his own writings (of course, he'll give full credit to the mathematician who proves it).

I wouldn't even know how to begin ...but it's just enough to buy a ps3 and half a dozen or so games! but if you want the xbox360 and the nintendo wii too, you might want to get busy on one of these 7, there worth $1 million each:

I think I'll leave this to the professional mathematicians though .

There is an important sequence of numbers called "the moments of the Riemann zeta function." Although we know abstractly how to define it, mathematicians have had great difficulty explicitly calculating the numbers in the sequence. We have known since the 1920s that the first two numbers are 1 and 2, but it wasn't until a few years ago that mathematicians conjectured that the third number in the sequence may be 42—a figure greatly significant to those well-versed in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

yeah! I COULD take it to the Math lab at school and ask them if they could help me with my homework problem lol! of course, that wouldn't be very honest....

I think p=q, but I dont' know what an infimum is.
I'm going to look it up.

lol! I looked up the definition, trust me it doesn't help!! But I think I'm getting close to the answer, I've narrowed it down to somewhere between negative infinity and infinity or maybe infinity + 1, not sure

oh yeah, and I think it's even or odd, but not both
