= Determine if one Diophantine equation has a solution
{synonym}
{title2}
Once you hear about the <uncomputability> of such problems, it makes you see that all <Diophantine equation> questions risk being <undecidable>, though in some simpler cases we manage to come up with answers. The feeling is similar to watching people trying to solve the <Halting problem>, e.g. in the effort to determine <BB(5)>.
