  1. You didn't listen to the video. This is a problem where even the smartest people are meeting their limits, so much so that it's considered futile to even engage with the problem.

  2.  @Vichu.  I didn't know about this particular problem in school but I knew about many others... from books I got from the library. One could always learn extracurricular things, most kids simply don't care.

  3. The problem is that the halt problem is unsolvable.

  4. So it's basically the most simple arithmetic halting problem. So what? We know that it's not solvable. All we need is a proof that this particular one can't be determined.
