Jake Boggan 谈 Barnette 猜想被解决:问题 180 已获证明
Quoting Jake Boggan
OpenAI math 相关项目中被标注为问题 180 的 Barnette 猜想据称已被证明。曾为此投入 24 年、数千小时的 Jake Boggan 在 Hacker News 评论中表示,得知这一消息让他有种说不清的悲伤。
7th October 2026
I was a graph theory junkie long ago and even moved to Budapest for awhile to study among the greats. While I was there I started working on Barnette's Conjecture which came to occupy my thoughts over the next 24 years of my life, on and off as I worked in many different fields. Last summer I even thought for a few days that I had actually solved it.
But it's supposedly proven here - problem 180. I don't know what to think exactly. I spent thousands of hours on that problem. I really enjoyed it. Hearing that it is solved somehow makes me sad in a far-off way, like hearing an ex-girlfriend died suddenly in a car crash. I don't know, there's probably a lot of people feeling odd emotions tonight.
