...failure of the Department for Advanced Study, the Department of Mathematics, and Albert Einstein either to solve or partly solve the problem presumably has established the fact that its solution and partial solutions are difficult; but not in what determinably exact degree difficult, and which, and with reasonable certainty, is my objective. For this objective can be reached only with a solution of the problem and a measurement of all measurable factors involved in the work of its solving. Therefore, as a further supplementation of the reward in exercise of the spirit of sportsmanship which efforts of solving the problem...
