I totally disagree. I think it is more likely we will have quantum chips running your iphone before this prize gets cashed (and I am a bit of a quantum computing sceptic). For comparison, even field medalists sometime struggle with getting gold medal in the time allocated or identify the trick needed in solving an IMO question. The difficulty difference between solving an IMO level 6 problem and solving an open math problem is much smaller than most imagine.
