Indeed, in other cases, the mere statement of the problem may be 
sufficient to keep a rather lot of mathematicians gainfully employed 
for 99 years!  A propos, there appears to be a solution ( 
http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/math/pdf/0303/0303109.pdf ) to the Poincaré 
conjecture ( circa 1904; 
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincare_conjecture ) which goes like 
this: "Suppose M is a smooth compact 3-dimensional manifold.  if every 
simple closed curve within M can be deformed continuously to a point, 
does it follow that M can be deformed into a 3-sphere?"  (answer: yes.  
ok, nobody cares about this, but what the hay..)
