<p>It was 1966 when renowned mathematician&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Moser" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Leo Moser</a>&nbsp;asked a simple question that completely confused the world of mathematics. Moser likely came up with the problem after struggling to move his sofa into a new house and thinking he could solve it simply using mathematics. After a while, however, he was stuck. He then published the problem in an article to recruit other mathematicians to his aid.</p> <p>Moser had asked a very simple question that affects our everyday lives.&nbsp;<strong>After all, most of us have struggled to move a sofa from one room to another at least once.</strong>&nbsp;This goes to show the originality of mathematicians, however. While everyone struggles with moving sofas, mathematicians try to solve the problem permanently in order to not come across it in the future.</p> <p><a href="https://ali.medium.com/the-sofa-moving-problem-50-years-unsolved-3acee1b12b75"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
