Quick math question...for 500 bits

X^n + Y^n = Z^n

Find one case, with X,Y,Z and n integers, and n greater than 2 for which this is true.

i guess if x,y and z were 0 and n was bigger than 2 it would be true... Rolling Eyes

first off this is Fermat's last theorem and it has been proven to that is is not true

second of all, homer since it is X,Y, and Z you should assume they are different numbers

aww....come on now martin, Fermat's Last Theorem? I would've expected something less conspicuous.....(doesn't really matter though, Catalyst or Bugz would probably get it anyways if it were a different question)

Homer_simpson · **Posted:** Thu Jun 26, 2003 9:27 pm

oh ic... well in that case it is impossible i think Confused

martin, quick my ass...

AsianSensation · **Posted:** Fri Jun 27, 2003 9:49 am

yeah, didn't it take that guy(was it Andrew Wales?) like 8 years to come up with the 130 something pages proof for Fermat's Last Theorem?

Andy · **Posted:** Fri Jun 27, 2003 12:18 pm

is it was actually proved?

Martin · **Posted:** Fri Jun 27, 2003 1:18 pm

heh, some people have too much time

Andrew Wiles asian.... didnt mr white talk to you about him? he gave us a story last year about one of his students going crazy cuz he thought he had the proof..

AsianSensation · **Posted:** Fri Jun 27, 2003 2:40 pm

i never heard Mr.White talk about him, cause im not in his class.

lol, and to go crazy over some math proof.....i can only imagine two people right now, that would do that(SW and TTL), but then again, proving fermat's last theoreom guarentees $50,000(or was it $500,000?)

Andy · **Posted:** Fri Jun 27, 2003 5:22 pm

i think TTL would juss jump of a bridge if she proved it

Crono · **Posted:** Sat Jun 28, 2003 7:37 pm

would u give me 5000 bits if i proved fermat's last theorem rite here?

Andy · **Posted:** Sun Jun 29, 2003 1:37 pm

lol ya he can prolly prove it too

SilverSprite · **Posted:** Sun Jun 29, 2003 2:10 pm

yeah.. pshaaw what? like its hard??
