P = NP if N = 1, or P is 0. That doesn't take 45 minutes.

Oh hey what are you going to do with your million?

You proved P = NP??? In a little more than 45 mins or did you misunderstand the question?

His point was that, hearing only one side of the story, the OP could claim whatever they wanted.

If I were asked that question, my answer would be that obviously P != NP because the former doesn't have an N at the front.

The pain of being tossed out onto the pavement would totally be worth it.

might get you bonus points. It's a clever answer.

If you think it's actually clever, you're overthinking it.

What if N = 1?

Maybe they didn't hire you because your claim that you proved P=NP in 45 minutes is ridiculous.
