Given is a 3SAT (3CNF) formula on variables, for some , and clauses drawn uniformly at random from the set of formulas on variables. Return with probability at least 0.5 (over the instances) that is typical without returning typical for any instance with at least simultaneously satisfiable clauses.
Conjecture Every surreal number has a unique sign expansion, i.e. function , where is some ordinal. This is the length of given sign expansion and also the birthday of the corresponding surreal number. Let us denote this length of as .
Problem Determine a computable set of invariants that allow one to determine, given a compact boundaryless 3-manifold, whether or not it embeds smoothly in the 4-sphere. This should include a constructive procedure to find an embedding if the manifold is embeddable.
Question Can either of the following be expressed in fixed-point logic plus counting: \item Given a graph, does it have a perfect matching, i.e., a set of edges such that every vertex is incident to exactly one edge from ? \item Given a square matrix over a finite field (regarded as a structure in the natural way, as described in [BGS02]), what is its determinant?

Conjecture Polignac's Conjecture: For any positive even number n, there are infinitely many prime gaps of size n. In other words: There are infinitely many cases of two consecutive prime numbers with difference n.
In particular, this implies:
Conjecture Twin Prime Conjecture: There are an infinite number of twin primes.
Problem Two players alternately write O's (first player) and X's (second player) in the unoccupied cells of an grid. The first player (if any) to occupy a set of cells having no two cells in the same row or column is the winner. What is the outcome of the game given optimal play?
To divide a given 2D convex region C into a specified number n of convex pieces all of equal area (perimeters could be different) such that the total perimeter of pieces is (1) maximized (2) minimized.
Remark: It appears maximizing the total perimeter is the easier problem.
