In a 2002 poll, 61 mathematicians and computer scientists said that they thought P probably didnโt equal NP, to only nine who thought it did โ and of those nine, several told the pollster that they took the position just to be contrary. But so far, no oneโs been able to decisively answer the question one way or the other.
