(b) There are other prizes, but I'm not aware of any others worth a million dollars. Do you have any pointers? A quick interwebs search didn't turn up anything, but they might just be being swamped by the results with the Millennium Problems.

Searching 'collatz conjecture prize' quite literally puts a prize of a bout 120MM Yen (~ $1MM) as the top result.

Hah! I didn't search specifically for that, I was searching for bounties in general.

Thanks.

My initial search for bounties didn't turn up that one, either. I wonder if my connection(s) with Erdos have polluted my search history, so it was showing me mostly those, and not showing me this.

Thanks for finding this and letting me know, I've learned something.
