If this were a competition, some people would try hard to win it. But the goal here is exploration, not exploitation. Once the answers are revealed, it's unlikely a winner will be identified, but a bunch of mathematicians who tried prompting AI with the questions might learn something from the exercise.
But everything has been explored in other datasets already.
If only a bunch of mathematicians learn something, why are so many people talking about this, why is the NY Times posting about this?
This is the attention economy at its worst.
