All currencies are linked to the shadow economy, bitcoin is only a few years old, but the shadow economy has always been there...
Who wants 1,000,000 quid?
Make it quick!
Scientists at the University of St Andrews in the UK have offered a million dollars to solve an ancient chess problem. It isreportedon the university's website.
The so-called Eight queens puzzle has been formulated in the mid-nineteenth century. Its essence is to put eight queens on a chessboard in such a way that none of them hits the other. The implication is that a queen strikes all the squares arranged vertically, horizontally and on both diagonals.

The so-called Eight queens puzzle has been formulated in the mid-nineteenth century. Its essence is to put eight queens on a chessboard in such a way that none of them hits the other. The queen is supposed to hit all squares arranged vertically, horizontally and on both diagonals.
The problem has no solution. 7 queens cover the whole area of the chessboard.

Firstly, it has a solution.
Not only that, it has a solution for any n>=4
Moreover, there are algorithms allowing obtaining partial solutions without brute forcing.

no one suggested anything there, it is a reference to the p vs np problemFirstly, it has.
Not only that, it has a solution for any n>=4
Moreover, there are algorithms which allow obtaining partial solutions without brute force.
No one suggested anything there, it is a reference to the problem p vs np, and by the way unsuccessful, because there are working heuristics for the queens problemDo you mean the possibility of proving the solution of the problem from the scientific point of view?
Then it is quite possible because in principle there is room for paradoxes in mathematics. No argument here.
Researchers at the University of St Andrews have thrown down the gauntlet to computer programmers to find a solution to a "simple" chess puzzle which could, in fact, take thousands of years to solve and net a $1m prize.
Well, flag on the play.
Should I cross you off?
