He's 26, a year under my self-proscribed cougar line. The medical industry seems to think brain development has largely stopped at 25. No, he's not a kid by any reasonable measure. Let's split the difference; call him a

If I were to generalize this in an optimistic view, I'd say that there's a decent chance for open problems in math to be busy beaver candidates. The collatz conjecture is an early family, I'd bet Diophantine equations show u
