No: the integers 1 to 7,825 cannot be colored that way, while 1 to 7,824 can. A SAT solver proved it and produced a 200-terabyte certificate that independent checkers verified. Graham paid the $100 prize he had offered. It is the pure form of a machine-verified prize.

Posed 1980s, Ronald Graham. Closed 2016, Marijn Heule, Oliver Kullmann and Victor Marek.
