Yeah, didn't mention but of course it's well-known, if I DID produce a
solution to TSP then supposedly that algorithm is worth a million
dollars from the Clay Institute.
I don't care about collecting as publicity from the solution would
pull in all my other research which is worth to me a lot more than
just a measly million dollars.
But I'm not banking on it as I see myself as fighting the math field,
and that's a lot of smart people around the world who I fear are
motivated to stop that from happening.
So yeah, if I'm right, potentially you could collect a sizeable sum of
cash, but you'd have to run the gauntlet to get it.
Who knows? It might even be physically dangerous, just as a
warning.
World governments would very quickly be involved as well.
It's not as simple as, prove TSP is solved, get published with my
algorithm implementation, collect a check from Clay Institute.
You have to survive to get to that check.
