I had assumed that the student was going to publish the "proof" that all zeros of the Dirichlet Zeta function falling in the critical strip (the real part of a complex number), are on the critical line. I think someone with the aid of an IBM Zeta Grid, proved Reimann's hypothesis to be true for the first 200,000,001 zeroes.
