        Pythagorean theorem = 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2

        You have to prove that there is no non-trivial whole number solution to the equation x^(n)+y^(n)=z^(n) Where n is greater than 2

        Feynman's angle of attack on Fermat's Last Theorem is also really coolhttp://www.lbatalha.com/blog/feynman-on-fermats-last-theorem …

        Now would be a good time to remember Sophie Germain, who was barred from attending university but proved the equation x^p + y^p = z^p where p doesn't divide x,y,z has no solutions for primes p < 100. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_Germain#Her_work_on_Fermat's_Last_Theorem …

        The lesson here with Fermat is that if you’re going to prove something, prove it while you are alive. For example DeWille Frommer (1738-1805) was sure he had proved his alternative to theory of Gravity, which he called EarthSuck. But he died and the theory has yet to be proven.

        There goes my long-term plan for proving that P=/=NP.
