lesman wishing to find the shortest route between all the cities in which he had customers. The complexity of this problem rises much faster than the Rice and Chess Board problem. Try it for yourself. It doesn’t matter if you imagine you are visiting customers or shops. I have given you a grid to count

We are also fairly sure we can form any number by adding two primes together. This is Goldbach’s Conjecture, set as a question in a letter written to Euler in 1742. It is still unproven! Euclid proved there are an infinite number of primes by using reductio ad absurdum. Imagine we have a complete list o

as logical problems. Where is the logic limit for life? We have no answer for this yet, but we do know the logic limit for computing; it is given by Rice’s Theorem. Named after Henry Rice, and proven in 1951 as part of his doctoral thesis at Syracuse University, Rice’s Theorem states: “No nontrivial f

d a route across the city that crosses each bridge once and once only. You can start anywhere, but no walking halfway over a bridge and no swimming! Euler discovered a rigorous mathematical proof that there can be no solution in 1735 after five hundred years of failure by other mathematicians. The answe
