So just a classical illustrative example of easy to check versus hard to solve is, if I take two very, very large numbers, and I multiply them together to get a third even larger number, and someone hands you just the larger number and says, factor it into two smaller numbers. Okay, if someone just says factor it, that's very hard to do, as far as we currently know.
