A College Student Who Decoded the Data Hidden in Inca Knots
> Medrano comes from a Mexican-American family and speaks Spanish, so understanding the Spanish census document was no problem. Handling numbers and data came naturally to him as well, as an economics major. The challenge, as both Medrano and Urton note, seemed to demand a perfect alignment of his skills and interests.I wonder how many unsolved problems there are out there with this problem.  Problems that are solvable, they just lack one mind that can view the issue from the proper perspective.I suspect that as the breadth of human knowledge increases, this type of problem will become more and more common.
