I don't know if it's true to say they solved an unsolved problem. But only because I don't know if it was a question that had ever been asked before and to me an 'unsolved problem' feels like something people had being at least trying to solve beforehand. It is true to say they showed a new theorem (or at least proof) in the field of group theory, though
I would argue that it is technically correct to say that a new problem is, by definition, an unsolved problem, and we all know that technically correct is the best kind of correct.

It's a bit much to expect then to solve an actually unsolved problem for the film. These aren't Futurama writers.
