There are simpler versions of the conjecture where we are getting really close. So I think in 10 years we will have many more much closer results, we may not have the whole thing. So twin primes is somewhat close. The Riemann hypothesis I have no clue. It has happened by accident I think. So the Riemann hypothesis is a kind of more general conjecture about the distribution of prime numbers, right?…
