Lastly, if you want to think about the Queens problem from a P=NP perspective, click the help button on the site that solves it for you, then spend the short time it takes to look and verify that the solution is correct. Even if you essentially brute force checking if the solution is correct (aka just looking at each queen and verifying that there is no other queen on the same row, column, or diagonal plane) then you will have still probably spent like 15 seconds tops, P=NP is claiming that you can write a program that can solve the problem in an equally short amount of time that it takes to verify the solution (a program would take minuscule fractions of a second to verify this) so think about how quickly it would take you in comparison to solve that over and over

Also Sonseray, just because people are working on it doesn't mean that they think it is possible. It's generally regarded that P most likely doesn't equal NP and people are working on the problem not because they think it's true, but rather just to find a solution. The prize will be handed out to anyone that can disprove P=NP as well

I feel like some people here don't understand what the core of P=NP is actually about
it's not explicitly about solving the problem "efficiently," it's about how quickly a solution for a problem can be found in comparison to how fast its solution can be verified
I'm not really going to engage you on anything from here because I really baited you maliciously for my own humor, and that was really, really wrong of me to do, and I'll apologize. I'm going to leave it at that, and I'm not going to fight whatever assertions you make about me. I think they're all valid viewpoints.

Just remember that you're in your ninth year on a mafia website rocking a Pokemon avatar as an adult when you post
Those are valid opinions to have and I am fine with you keeping them.

Please tell me that it doesn't matter whether or not people think you are smart, guy who has typed me essays on the theory of the children's party game mafia

Here is some psychoanalysis for you:
I think it matters to you that you are perceived as smart more than anything else, and I don't think you are smart at all. Average at best.

Do you know what I think? I think you spent the past hour and a half arguing with me about your intelligence because you get really hot and bothered if someone doesn't think you are as smart as you think you are
