What is the hardest math problem in the world? The answer to that question is tricky. “Difficulty” is a subjective metric and what is difficult for some may not be difficult for others. Some math problems, such as the infamous question 6 of the 1988 Math Olympiad are easy to understand but monstrously complex to solve. Others such as the 7 Bridges of Königsberg problem seem complex but have a deceptively simple answer.
A reasonable metric to determine how “difficult” a math problem is could be the number of people that have solved it. Therefore, it stands to reason that the hardest math problems in the world are ones that no mathematician has solved yet. With that in mind, we are going to take a look at 6 of the most difficult unsolved math problems in the world.
1.Goldbach Conjecture
Let’s start our list with an extremely famous and easy-to-understand problem. First, take all the even natural numbers greater than 2 (e.g. 4, 6, 8, 10, 12…). Next, take each even number and try to rewrite it as the sum of 2 prime numbers. For our first 5 elements of our list, we get:
4 = 2+2
6 = 3+3
8 = 3+5
