The Millennium Prize Problems are 7
problems in mathematics
that were stated by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000. As
of June 2010, six of the problems remain unsolved. A
correct solution to any of the problems results in a US$1,000,000
prize (sometimes called a Millennium Prize) being awarded
by the institute. Only the Poincaré conjecture has been solved,
by Grigori
Perelman.
For each problem, the Institute had a professional mathematician
write up an official statement of the problem, which will be the
main standard by which a given solution will be measured against.
The seven problems are:

Just wondering, anyone ever thought of trying to solve them?
There is a US$1m prize money to entice people to solve it...
There are mathematicians who have spent decades of effort into
tackling these questions.
The 1 million is not an easy sum to get, it is something which
you will have to really earn.
