Abstract
There have been two polls asking theorists (and others) what they thought of P vs NP (and other questions) [4, 5]. Both were written by William Gasarch and appeared in the Complexity Column of SIGACT News, edited by Lane A. Hemaspaandra. They were in 2002 and 2012. Since William Gasarch is fond of Van der Waerden's theorem, you would think the next poll would be 2022; however, Lane asked if it could be a bit earlier so as to be the 100th issue of his column. So here we are. In the past the questions for the poll appeared in Lane's column. This time they appear here in the Open Problems Column, which makes sense since, well, P vs NP is indeed an open problem.
