I don't know man. Should Clay Mathematics Institute hand out one million dollars for every guy sending them a correct proof of Poincare conjecture? I mean, the challenge (the statement of the conjecture itself, the mountain) is still there, it's not going anywhere as long as mankind exists. But bad Clay! They should have not made that reward exclusive, everyone should be able to tackle it even 100 years later and be rewarded for it!

Or am I using a bad example?
