Well Matt, there's not only one hard problem!

NL understanding is hard, but theorem-proving is hard too, and
narrow-AI approaches have not succeeded at proving nontrivial theorems
except in very constrained domains...

I happen to think that both can be solved by the same sort of
architecture, though...

I think the hard problem is in learning how to apply it.  For example, suppose
you say to an AGI, "Bob and Alice shared a $100 prize.  How much did Bob
receive?"  Mathematically, it is simple, but the problem of converting natural
language to mathematical formulas (when appropriate) is unsolved.
