Agreed with all of that, but with the added point that Knuth has done a lot of work in this exact area in The Art of Computer Programming Volume 4. If he considers this conjecture open given his particular knowledge of the field, it likely is (although agreed, it's not guaranteed). | ||

> If he considers this conjecture open given his particular knowledge of the field, it likely is (although agreed, it's not guaranteed). It is as good as guaranteed. If Knuth says it doesn't know how to solve the problem, and if anyone knows, then they will inform Knuth about it. Knuth not just a very knowledgeable person, but a celebrity also. | ||

Also, if Claude had regurgitated a known solution, it would have come up with it in the first exploration round, not the 31st, as it actually did. | ||
