you ever learn that something is an open problem and be personally offended on behalf of the collective intellectual prowess of humanity

right now i'm thinking about quantum gravity but there are much easier-looking problems. like: the number of n-step self-avoiding walks on a square lattice is known to grow like (const)^n (times a power of n) and we don't know the value of the constant even conjecturally???
