$

Suppose that we are visited (in 2024) by a time traveler from the far future. It turns out that they are a pure mathematician. We get a chance to communicate with them, however practical limitations are such that we get to ask a single Yes/No question (about pure mathematics) only.

What would you ask? (Assuming that the aim of your question is to obtain information that can be used to speed up progress in pure mathematics overall?)
