Claude Opus 4.6 Solved Donald Knuth's Graph Theory Problem in 1 Hour

Donald Knuth is not the kind of person who gets stumped easily. The Stanford computer science professor wrote The Art of Computer Programming - a multi-volume reference so exhaustive that Bill Gates once said, "If you think you're a really good programmer, read Knuth's Art of Computer Programming. You should definitely send me a résumé if you can read the whole thing." He invented TeX. He pioneered the analysis of algorithms as a formal discipline. He is, to most of the computing world, a living legend.
