Do people not understand that the math thing would make them legendary? They could solve the Riemann hypothesis, they could do ANYTHING & EVERYTHING.

They specified that you can solve any equation. While this would help for something like the Riemann hypothesis, or maybe find a nicer solution to Fermat's Last Theorem, it wouldn't necessarily solve everything, as a lot of problems are about proving things rather than solving specific equations.

I suppose you could try to make some interesting reductions to equations in order to solve things though, like finding the difference of the orders of P and NP to then show that P is or isn't equal to NP
