If they wanted to solve a Millenium prize problem so much, why did they not try to solve P-NP instead? It boggles the mind.

What makes you think they didn't try?

Are you kidding/trolling? The P=NP problem is FAR more fundamental, and if proven true, would basically be a proof that e.g. public key crypto can be broken (NOT a description of how to though).

Basically, it would be a proof that all the REALLY hard (combinatorial) problems out there, have a much simpler solution, if we were able to find it.

That one is way more difficult.
