We ought to get the people here behind some distributed computing project. I bet we could beat any other team.
And if we can't....well, we will show impressed we are by posting a link to their website hehehe....
Here's a real math mystery

Can anyone here prove the theory first suggested by Beavis that "the angle of the dangle is inversely proportional to the heat of the beat"?

No client to download. Just write "God, if you can see this, please show yourself!" in a large font on your screen using the blink-tag. If enough people do it, God will see it.
Note that once we make contact with God, He can cure cancer for us, factor larger integers, or tell us where the aliens are, so this distributed computing project subsumes every other one.
If anyone's interested

they can join my distributed project. Just download my program and it runs in the backround. It will be busy computing the number of Distributed Projects in the world. We currently have 30,000 users. We expect to know the exact number in 100 years.
FAQ:
Why will it take so long to figure out:
Short Answer: The number of Distributed Projects out there grows exponentially.
Why would anyone want to do this:
Short Answer: Nobody does

I'd *love* to switch from SETI to the cancer research program, but I'm definitely not switching to Windows to do it!
*mumbles something about installing Windows would be spreading cancer*

At least make it something at least a little interesting, like my proof that 1 + 1 = 3.
Here's my proof:
a = a
a^2 = a^2
a^2 - a^2 = a^2 - a^2
Factor both sides, one by binomial, the other by a
(a + a)(a - a) = a(a - a)
Divide by the common (a - a) factor...
(a + a) = a
2a = a
2 = 1
Except, then they'll also start consuming us for food. That's another often overlooked disadvantage of SETI.
+1 ***INFORMATIVE***?!?!?!
WTF?!?!?!
+1 Funny, sure. +1 Interesting, maybe. Hell, I'll even buy +1 Insightful when I'm on Nyquil, but +1 INFORMATIVE?!?! Who's moderating today -- Art Bell?

"Now" and "No" are not the same word. They vaguely sound the same and have much the same spelling, but CANNOT be used interchangeably. In fact, such interchange could be disastrous given the worst-case context. Imagine the questions "Should I shoot?" or "Is the building clear for demolition?" or "Is Windows ready for mission critical applications?". Clearly "now" and "no" are not the same word, and I trust slashdot editors will check for this in the future.
Now what am I going to do till climateprediction.net goes live...
Figure out what the hell an ECCp-109 is?
Now I can go to sleep.
You don't know how much this has been keeping me up.
None of you know.
*What* has been solved? EP-what?...
NOOO!!!!
Why have I never heard of this? I must be getting dumber!
Now I'm sure all these uber-geeks are laughing at me.

Great movie, really hard to understand ending.
Don't you realize that once we contact the aliens they can cure all earth diseases with a flick of a tentacle?
