I had been reading a bit on this; the Cray Institute published prizes of $1 million each for seven different problems a few years ago. One has been solved so far. Most of the problems are of a nature that I have trouble even understanding what the problem is - although I thought I was a fan of math... But it gets a bit too abstract. The Riemann conjecture is one of these problems, probably the one that interest mathematicians most, due to its connections with prime numbers. I find the definition of the Riemann Zeta function, too, a bit tricky.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
