"Is P equal to NP" is also a simple question.

The answer should be simple, too -- either yes or no. OP did not imply proving it would be simple.
I'm pretty sure that you won't be able to claim your 1 million dollars from the Clay Mathematics Institute by just answering yes or no.
That's why I'm going to go with a friend. I'll say yes, he'll say no, and we'll split the winnings. Easy money.
OP did imply that the paper contained the simple answer, though.
It’s easy to say that the truth is simple if you ignore everything about exploring whether or not a paper is an accurate representation of the truth.
