The Million-Dollar Panda Solution

Computer scientists have spent decades wrestling with the P vs. NP problem, a fundamental question about computational complexity that's worth a million-dollar prize. Then Kung Fu Panda strolls in with the mathematical equivalent of "have you tried turning it off and on again?"

The joke hinges on the panda's hilariously naive "solution" - setting N=1 makes P=NP trivially true in a literal sense, but completely misses the actual complexity theory challenge. It's like saying you've solved world hunger by redefining "hungry" to mean "full." The turtle's shock is every computer scientist who's dedicated their career to this problem watching their field get "solved" by someone who doesn't understand the first thing about it.
