How hard is a hard problem?
Prime numbers form the building blocks of arithmetic. But if we make a list of them, many questions arise. Pairs of primes differing by 2 (such as 5 and 7, or 101 and 103) seem to occur ‘all the way up’, but there can also be huge gaps between successive primes. So how are the prime numbers distributed? The Riemann hypothesis is a major unsolved problem whose solution would help us to answer this question.
