A modest demonstration, but Nano Banana Pro with Gemini 3 Pro gets this simple task mostly right! At least no imaginary people this time.

Cameron Seth is breaking down the world’s hardest CS problem piece by piece.
“What I’m doing is looking at a series of smaller problems related to the broader P vs. NP problem. Essentially, what I’m asking is if we can solve these other related problems,” Cam says.
