A Mathematician Has Spent Years Trying To Prove The Riemann Hypothesis - Without Success.

HomeShort JokesMath

A mathematician has spent years trying to prove the Riemann hypothesis - without success. Finally, he decides to sell
his soul to the devil in exchange for a proof. The devil promises to deliver a proof within four weeks.

Four weeks pass, but nothing happens. Half a year later, the devil shows up again - in a rather gloomy mood.

"I'm sorry", he says. "I couldn't prove the Riemann hypothesis either. But" - and his face lightens up - "I think I
found a really interesting lemma..."
