- The proof of riemann's hypothesis is trivial.
- I don't have the solution - that's busywork. I'm just saying the solution is trivial.
- Oh.? Then write it down and claim your fields medal.
- Think about the space of all possible proofs. There are infinite proofs, all of which are just strings of little squiggles. It follows
- That for any given proof, there is some other proof that is both longer and has more complicated squiggles.
- Since "triviality" is always a relative quality, you can make a proof trivial just by locating a harder one among the infinite options. Thus, we have shown that all proofs are trivial, including this one.
- That seems non-obvious.
- Actually everything is obvious.

- The one downside is that the answer is approximately infinity characters in length.
