A retired Indian mathematician has put a preprint on the arxiv, which he claims proves the Riemann Hypothesis FALSE! The paper is yet to be published and it will be interesting to see if this is a correct proof. There is a long list of purported proofs...

The boys and girls over at Wolfram have posted a problem with a $25,000 prize tag! It looks simple enough: Prove that the Turing machine below is universal.

An old dream of mine was realized in class today: Eating popcorn in lecture. Well, almost. I was teaching and a student had a bag of popcorn with her and when I asked the class if someone wanted to do a certain problem on arc length on the board she answered yes. So I got to eat her popcorn while she worked out the problem on the board. It should be noted that she did the problem very well. And the popcorn was nice too!
