    Now, after release, here’s an example of the initial thoughts of someone who had spent time on one of the solved problems:

        I don’t think that’s what’s being said. More like the complexities of the solution are taking a while to understand because it is a complex solution using complex math. Even the smartest people in their fields can’t always look at a solution and at a glance understand everything without truly digesting what they’re seeing.
