Reported as proven by a Nigerian math professor:

EDIT: Though, there is still some ongoing chatter about whether this is a valid, formal proof. But he did get the money, apparently.

I'd wait for a consensus that it has been solved before celebrating. |

True enough, but even the normally reliable BBC was suckered into running the story on yesterday's 'Today' programme: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03891wc
