BBC "news": Greatest maths problem 'solved' on dBdB's latest crack at the problem scores twice as highly on the "BBC news is shit"ometer than usual.

First:

[[
The hypothesis concerns prime numbers and has stumped the world's mathematicians for more than 150 years.
]]

[[
It has defeated mathematicians since 1859 when Bernhard Riemann published a conjecture about how prime numbers were distributed amongst other numbers.
]]

Doesn't take a mathematician to work that one out. Then there's the "related story" link in the sidebar with the short title, "Largest Prime Number Discovered".

They really are very, very poor.
