That's been achieved already with a few Erdös problems, though those tended to be ambiguously stated in a way that made them less obviously compelling to humans. This problem is obscure, even the linked writeup admits that perhaps ~10 mathematicians worldwide are genuinely familiar with it. But it's not unfeasibly hard for a few weeks' or months' work by a human mathematician.
