Should actually be "1 million for proving..."..these aren't your everyday maths problems.

I have discovered a truely remarkable proof of the Riemann hypothesis which this post is to small to contain!!!

Do I get like...6 million if I solve them all at the same time or will they cheap out and only give me 1 million? And does proof by inspection count?

Yes, they will give 6 million and yes, proof by inspection is valid as long as it is adequately justified

Yang-Mills theory looks interesting, but seriously proving stuff like that deserves a noble prize or something on top of a million dollars..

Actually one of the leading mathematics in the world said that out of all the millennium prize problems, yang-mills theory is probably the hardest!

But anyone who is under 40 would get the fields medal (which is the nobel prize in mathematics) if they did solve one of the problems. In fact, Perelman solved Poincaré conjecture and was awarded the fields medal, but declined it and didnt want a million dollars!!!
