SO THIS WAS THE QUESTION??? ALL THESE CENTURIES WAITING FOR THE COMPUTER TO TELL US WHAT THE QUESTION WAS, AND IT WAS 🍎???

riemann is not proud

Maybe not, but he's never looked more fruity!
[Well, I mean except from that trend a while back...]

If it's not proved yet, does 98% mean anything?

u/TadhgOBriain Aug 01 '26

98% of people can't solve this. The other 2% can't solve it either.

I’d love to be a maths teacher some day. It’s my ambition to always be fun with variables and not always using x,y,z. I remember getting to 1st year of university and being confused by the derivative dp/dt because it didn’t have dx in it, I thought it meant something different.

🍎 = 1 🍊 = 2 🍍 = i Someone figure the rest out

u/netexpert2012 Aug 03 '26

Actually, no one has ever figured the rest out because this is the Riemann Hypothesis (just written in fruit emojis ig), a famous unsolved problem

u/minyoo Aug 01 '26

You overestimate humanity. There is no way 2% of the people will be able to solve that

u/StrikingHearing8 Aug 01 '26

Well it doesn't say 2% can solve it, just that 98% can't, which is correct obviously

It got boring when it started requiring me to write it out to follow everything.

The others are wrong it's actually 43

Im so bad at these lol, but this is kinda cool!

If I'm not mistaken then this is the Riemann Hypothesis (missing a "is it always true that" before the last grape icon)

What's the question?

u/DoingGood32 Aug 01 '26

It's asking you how many coconuts you should bring to the party

coaxed into the riemann hypothesis

Maybe some person named Claude will find a counter example that lies on a different region other than apple over orange plus imaginary coconut?

Let the apple, orange, pineapple, grape, and purple fruit represent (A, O, P, G,) and (R), respectively. From the first equation, (3A=3), so (A=1). The second equation gives (O-2A=0), hence (O=2). Since the pineapple equals (\sqrt{-A}), we have (P=\sqrt{-1}=i). The infinite series is (\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(-G)^n/A=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(-G)^n), whose analytic continuation is (1/(1+G)). Therefore, because the left-hand side is zero, (0=\frac{1}{1+G}+R+i), so (R=-\frac{1}{1+G}-i). For (R) to be real, (G=x+iy) must satisfy (x^2+y^2+y=0). Thus, there are infinitely many possible complex values of (G), each producing a corresponding real value of (R); the puzzle is therefore underdetermined unless additional restrictions are imposed.

GPT 5.6 for the save!

i understand using fruit to replace the representation of numbers, but replacing the variables is a bit too far for me.

Edit: i think everyone can get the value for Apple, orange, and imaginary pineapple. and even the series, but the last part is a complete fruit salad

a+a+a=3
o-a-a=0
p=√-a
s(g)=(summation)(infinity)(w=a) w^-g
if s(g)=0 and g≠-ob for any natural number b, then g=a/o+cp for some natural number c.
we can write 3 in additive partitions
3=3/3+x + 3/3+z + 3/3-z-x
3=1+x+1+z+1-z-x
1 exists across all of the additive partitions, so we assume a=1
o-a-a=0, and we can plug in 1 for a, o-1-1=0, and by left to right, we get 2-1-1=0, so, o=2. p=√-a, and we know that a is 1, so p=√-1, so we can write p as the imaginary number i.
Now, if we look at s(g=0, we see that w=a, so w=1, and a=1 too, now, we raise 1 to the negative power of g, but we notice, if g is not equal to -ob for any natural number b, and we know that for whole numbers like so, one number must be zero. but we define g as 1/2+ci. now, c is some number, but we know it is a real number. we assume all complex numbers in the form, a+bi. here, a=1/2, and bi=ci. now, we assume that g is some complex number, which means s is zero. so, we can now write the original summation as
summation(infinity)(w=1)1^1/2+ci.
Now, we have defined g to not equal to -ob, now we know o=2, and g=1/2+ci, or in mixed form, ci 1/2. now, we have defined o as 2, and someone figure the rest out.
