If I could do that I would be rich, quite literally.  Sadly, I can't and
neither can anyone else on the planet (so far).  But if you think you
can, head over to the Clay Mathematics Institute and persuade them to
give you a million dollars[1].

For the hard-of-understanding, a proof that p, which is obviously in P,
is also in NPC would immediately prove that P=NP.  Alternatively, a
proof that p is not in NPC would immediately prove that P=/=NP.
