[edit] "Fact" paragraph needs serious rewrite or deletion

Under the heading of "Fact", the article states:

"Needless to say, this episode attracts the attention of the Riemann hypothesis; one of most important unsolved problems in mathematics, which has been an open question for almost 150 years, despite the effort of many respected mathematicians."

First of all, "Needless to say" is entirely inappropriate here, since the article has no other mention of the Riemann Hypothesis.

Secondly, the phrase "attention of the Riemann hypothesis" has no meaning, since mathematical concepts do not possess "attention".

Finally, whatever it was the writer felt is "needless to say", perhaps that is also unnecessary to write.

I suggest this paragraph be either carefully rewritten (with proper use of the semicolon, if any), or deleted.Daqu (talk) 19:19, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
