A New Million Dollar Prize?
Grigori Perelman, the solver of the three-dimension Poincare Conjecture, hasAdeclinedAto accept the first awarded Clay Prize.

Perhaps the award should have been offered to both him and Richard Hamiltonarecall Hamilton created the Ricci-flow approach used by Perelman. Perhaps together they would have accepted. Oh well.
