People. The Unsolvable Math Problem. Claim: A student mistook examples of unsolved statistics problems for a homework assignment and solved them. true Example: [Collected via Brunvand, 1987] A young college student was working hard in an upper-level math course, for fear that he would be unable to pass. On the night before the final, he studied so long that he overslept the morning of the test.When he ran into the classroom several minutes late, he found three equations written on the blackboard. Origin:This legend about the "unsolvable math problem" combines one of the ultimate academic wish-fulfillment student not only proves himself the smartest one in his class, but also bests his professor and every other scholar in his field of study — with a "positive thinking" motif which turns up in other urban legends: when people are free to pursue goals unfettered by presumed limitations on what they can accomplish, they just may manage some extraordinary feats through the combined application of native talent and hard work.
