True | bonch | null | It's funny that you mention gaming consoles, because they stole gaming away from PCs years and years ago.

True | AnythingApplied | null | Keep in mind the "easy" and "hard" are just simplifications. What it really means is polynomial time. Take the 100 rocks problem from the article. If we use a variable number of rocks, say N, then we can write an equation for how long it takes us to solve the problem with different N. Suppose it takes N^3 minutes. So 1 rock: 1 minute, 2 rocks: 8 minutes, 3 rock: 27 minutes, 4 rocks: 64 minutes... While this seems like a very "hard" problem, this is actually considered "easy" because it is a polynomial.
The reason polynomial is easier is because if instead you have an exponential function like 2^N minutes, there will always be an N such that the exponential will take longer than the polynomial. Even if you have 1.01^(0.01*N) at some large enough N this will take more time than N^3. After N=387990 the polynomial time solution of N^3 is going to take less time then 1.01^(0.01*N). It is less about hard versus easy, and more about scalability. | null | 0 | 1316110927 | False | 0 | c2k44xb | t3_kgfhb | null | t1_c2k44xb | t1_c2k2ihl | null | 1427604298 | 21 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | Fringe_Worthy | null | From what I understand, Quantum systems, even if you're looking at purely theoretical systems do not let you place constraints on n qbit and have them examine all possible 2^n states in O(n^x)(?) time. So they don't solve your NP problems in P time.

True | ahugenerd | null | Well, it's not quite that simple. For instance, for the longest time we looked at sorting as a comparative operation, which is inherently slow. [Quicksort](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicksort), a common sorting algorithm which is not actually all that quick, has a worst case performance of O(*n*^2 ). What that means is that if you have a list with *n* item, at worst you'll have to do *n*^2 comparisons before ending up with a sorted list. So, for instance, if you have a list with 100 items to sort, it will take at most 10,000 comparisons to sort the list. A similar, but simpler, comparison sort is [Bubble sort](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_sort).
However, this is not the only way of looking at the problem. [Radix sort](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix_sort) operated by sorting numbers based on the specific properties of their digits. It's worst case efficiency is O(k*n*), where k is the longest number of digits in a entry in the list to sort. Basically, the numbers are put into bins, with 10 bins per radix (digit position). So, for instance, 731 would be put in the 1s bin, then within that bin, there would be another 10 bins, and it would be put in the 3s bin, and within that bin there would be another 10 bins, and it would be put in the 7s bin. Once this is done for all numbers in your list, all you have to do is read the bins out in order: no comparisons! For our example with 100 items, assuming these are standard 32-bit unsigned integers with a max value of 4,294,967,295, you would need at most 10 digits * 100 values = 1000 operations. So it would be a full order of magnitude faster.
To get back to the P vs. NP debate, the idea is that if we can still come up with ingenious solutions to seemingly understood and straight-forward problems ([hash tables](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table) and [rainbow tables](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_tables) also come to mind), then there's a possibility that we haven't thought of a proper way to solve NP problems. There's a lot that can be accomplished by ingenuity, and until we have solid proof that P != NP, you'll keep getting people trying to find a way to equate them.
