Now I dont know if thats correct, Dez... but if you are right ... tonight we parrrrtaaaayyyy!!!

This problem, as relatively simple as it sounds has never been solved. Solving this problem will earn you a free million dollars. This equation was first proposed by Goldbach hence the name Goldbach's Conjecture.

Who would have thought this would be so easy for you and so hard for me??? Duh!!

Max = 3 + sqr(18) = 3 + 4.24 = 7.24

Rose = 2 + sqr(25) = 2+5 = 7

Rose will reach the crumb first as Max has to craw .24 units further.

2 is a prime number

3 is a prime number

combined they are 5 which is greater than or equal to 4

I have no idea what any of it means Dez.. they are all just numbers s to me .. lol
Therefore I cannot argue nor agree with you .. but I can cut and paste stuff that may address it for you.. I don't know where one would apply to claim their Million bucks ..

"Goldbach's conjecture is one of the oldest and best-known unsolved problems in number theory and all of mathematics. It states that every even natural number greater than 2 is the sum of two prime numbers. The conjecture has been shown to hold for all integers less than 4 × 10¹⁸, but remains unproven despite considerable effort. "(wik)

(I have no idea what that even means )

I guess the probability of a new player joining the forum, with a math joke is low.

Sorry, I missed seeing this .. As already stated , Welcome..
and very clever contribution ... thanks, post as often as you like .. and Good Luck!!

They both reach their crumb at the same time.
