Want to Take On An Open/Unsolved Problem?

CexpTretical writes "The accumulation and focusing of knowledge may be the noblest use or purpose of the internet. There are plenty of open or unsolved problems left for this generation. Why not spend some of your time in the dark of this winter working on one of the big problems facing humanity? Open problems exists in almost every field of study. Wikipedia maintains a small list of them and at least one international group called the Union of International Associations maintains a database of open problems." Which problem do you want to see cracked first? Are you already working on one of these big issues?

    Surprised to see this article so I thought I'll talk a bit about a website
    I newly created (http://www.opinomics.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page ) .

    Not much content at this stage but it's a website to gather feedback about companies, organised by cities. The rationale is that if we can focus the feedback into one convenient place, we can help to address information asymmetry that exists between companies and customers.
