Jeff Smith's Math Puzzle for June 26, 2026 – Claymation plays rough, morphs into solid geometry quiz. The post Math Puzzle ...

Think about placing dots on a flat surface. You want as many pairs as possible to be separated by the same distance. For any amount of dots, what is the greatest possible number of pairs that can be ...

For generations, mathematicians have tried and failed to solve an 80-year-old problem. In May, an artificial intelligence (AI) model successfully tackled it. OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, said one of ...

Place any number of dots on a two-dimensional plane—say, a piece of paper—and measure the distance between each pair. If you rearrange the dots, how many pairs could be positioned exactly the same ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

OpenAI's AI model solved the unit distance problem posed by Paul Erdos in 1946 The AI found a counterexample disproving Erdos's conjecture on unit-distance pairs The solution shows unit-distance pairs ...

A recent announcement that an artificial intelligence model succeeded in solving a decades-old mathematical problem that had eluded generations of accomplished mathematicians was widely portrayed as ...

AI has solved a long-standing open geometry problem dating back to 1946, The New York Times reports. Scientists say the technology was able to accomplish this feat because it took an unconventional ...

“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.” And you’ll definitely need to sit down ...
