I read somewhere that 56% of the problems had some Lean Proof, but upon inspection, there are gaps between what Lean proves and what English says about the proof.

Making an English language description of a problem and proof steps match the Lean proof is apparently harder than the halting problem and is not something that a Lean proof alone or the current dump or even the Navier-Stokes dump solves.

A good breakdown of the problem is here: https://arxiv.org/html/2610.08144v1 or also see here: https://terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/10/09/what-mathematician...
