So I am extremely hyped about this, but it's not clear to me how much heavy lifting this sentence is doing:

> First, the problems were manually translated into formal mathematical language for our systems to understand.

The non-geometry problems which were solved were all of the form "Determine all X such that…", and the resulting theorem statements are all of the form "We show that the set of all X is {foo}". The downloadable solutions from https://storage.googleapis.com/deepmind-media/DeepMind.com/B... don't make it clear whether the set {foo} was decided by a human during this translation step, or whether the computer found it. I want to believe that the computer found it, but I can't find anything to confirm. Anyone know?
