Has anyone ever been to a math website, (forgotten), where they offer $1,000,000.00, yup, one million, to anyone who can solve some problems that the world's mathmatecians cannot. These have to do with real problems that need solving. Last I saw there were 3. Left me in the dust.

Try this one... http://www.claymath.org/millennium
They're called the Millennium Prize Problems, and there are seven problems, each worth $1,000,000 for a correct solution.
The problems are:
Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture
Hodge Conjecture
Navier-Stokes Equations
P vs NP
Poincaré Conjecture
Riemann Hypothesis
Yang-Mills Theory

Haven't heard of such a site, but I wouldn't doubt one exists. The thing is, these days the mathematics are so complex that the few equations that remain completely unsolved use way more symbols than actual numbers, and require way more training in math than most of us have... unless you happen to be some sort of "Good Will Hunting" kind of character. Also, since the mathematics world has been trying to solve these equations for decades (if not longer, in some cases), if you were to actually solve one, you'd get $1M anyway... from the Nobel committee. So I suppose if whoever set up this website was separate from the Nobel Prize committee, you could actually get $2M...

yes I have seen some. they are exciting. There are many like them in discrete mathematics.

I can't figure out why they would do that.
