I've spent 25 years studying NP-Completeness. No, I don't have a doctorate. No, I haven't taken any serious number theory courses. Yes, I've proved FP=FNP by writing a 110 lines of python code that factors numbers in the time it takes to read in the digits of the number to the power of 5. It's trivial to prove correctness. I developed the math and algorithm all by myself, alone, in my bedroom. No, I don't weigh 400 pounds and it's been a very long time since I've been in any form of basement.

Yep. I'm that guy. A black swan incarnate.

Sometimes, just sometimes, Ahab gets his damn whale.
