| > Navier-Stokes is one of six “Millennium Problems” on a list compiled by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000. Seven, not six. One is solved already, but is still a millennium problem. |

| Yes, that's a strange mistake to make. |

| ▲ | 4ndrewl 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | One of the other millennium problems is counting to 7. | |
| ▲ | piker 5 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Not really. There's a non-pedantic, charitable interpretation widely available. It's below for reference. > Navier-Stokes is one of six [open] “Millennium Problems” on a list compiled by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000. | | |
| ▲ | echoangle 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | If solved problems don’t count anymore, the sentence also doesn’t make sense because now navier stokes apparently isn’t open anymore too, right? | | |
| ▲ | piker 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | Maybe? But then the parent comment doesn’t make sense either. (There are 2 solved.) Like I said, take the charitable view. To a lot of readers this will be “announcing” the closure of the second of 7 problems so is internally consistent. |
