Yeah I wasn't talking about n^2 as the big problem. I only brought up Game Theory because of the response that they need to stop talking about Gaming.

The rest of what was said I had no problems with. The big problems came out of the responses discussion to my reply, and had nothing to do with n^2 or the original article.

All I was talking about in my initial reply was in the statement that they need to stop talking about Gaming unless they are going to become a gambling site or something of that nature.

Thus, my response was to explain game theory and WHY the use of gaming was relevant to the discussions. That was the only purpose of my original response. I don't believe I've referenced n^2 once here unless it was responding when someone else mentioned it in a reply to me.

The big problems I am referring to are the ones that are unfamiliar and difficult concepts that we as humans have not had to solve before. I don't consider n^2 a big problem. That is an easy problem. Implement a different curve, test it. If it doesn't work try something else.

I wouldn't call that a big problem. :) when I call something a big problem I am talking about those really big mind bending problems that we don't know how to solve yet, we suspect there is a solution out there, but it takes a lot of effort, and trying new things to find it. IF we ever do.
