What are your thoughts on the millennium prize problems? Which one do you think will be most likely to be solved first?

As someone who is currently studying mathematics in undergrad and intends to do research in pure math (hopefully dynamical systems), many adults have told me that pure math is useless. How do I explain to them the allure and beauty of pure math?

That's not so much of whether it's true or not. It's more of if you wish to accept it when you do math or not I believe.
