The venue was fully seated.

The scholars sitting in the venue either chatted with each other or flipped through the thesis print-out and report summary…

The noisy venue was like music for Brian Caro's ears. In half an hour, he would become one of the greatest mathematical physicists of this century. He would place down the last piece of the Yang-Mills equations puzzle and win a million USD in prize money… Or at least a third of the prize money.

Of course, his motivation for solving this problem wasn't the prize money. In his opinion, money and honor were bonuses.

So why did he try and solve this problem?

Because pushing civilization forward was a pleasant thing in and of itself.
