Russian mathematician Grigory Perelman solved the 100-year old problem, proving that in three dimensions, a doughnut shape cannot be transformed into a sphere without ripping it.
Perelman did not show up at the International Congress of Mathematicians, an event held every four years, this time in Madrid to receive his medal from King Juan Carlos — nor did he claim his $1 million prize.
