"One of the Gottengin professors in 1904 parodied the problems that British studends were expected to answer: 'On an elastic bridge stands an elephant of negligible mass; on his trunk sits a mosquito of mass m. Calculate the vibrations of the bridge when the elephant moves the mosquito round by rotating his trunk.' Students were expected to quote Newton's Principa as if it were the Bible."

Thats from a book I just finished reading. "The Music of the Primes". It's all about the Riemann hypothesis, which hasn't been proved since it was first suggested in 1859. It's a sort of formula that predicts when the next prime number will occur. It's not nearly as boring as it sounds.
