But here's the catch: no one has been able to prove this works for every number. This deceptively simple problem has stumped mathematicians since 1937, earning it the nickname "the simplest math problem no one can solve." Join us as we delve into this captivating enigma and explore why it continues to baffle brilliant minds around the globe.
