In 2016, as a publicity stunt for Pi Day, the US chain restaurant Pizza Hut announced a trio of mathematical puzzles written by John H Conway, offering prizes of Pizza Hut gift cards.
The first two problems were successfully solved, and prizes presumably awarded, but the third was not and seemingly remains unsolved to this day!
