I'd like your definition of the verb 'wanit'.

It is intrinsically obvious to the most casual observer that 'wanit' is the imperative sense of the verb to 'want'.

As in,"We wanit you to shut the hell up."

I believe thats 'wanitt' with two t's. I'm sure the aarvark's would like Bowmann to shut the hell up as well.

Hand, everyone wants Bowmann to shut up.

Well all I can say is.... What an easy rec that was Cheat. Do you always come so cheap? 😛

i have discovered a truly remarkable truth, but this post is too small to contain it"

how about proving that for n=2, one of x or y is odd and the other is even, and that x, y and z are coprime?

Familiar with Fermat are you?

3,4,5 is one answer.

written by Fermat in the margin of a book... the actual proof was never found...

some have claimed to solve the theorem during the past several years, but I'm not sure it's been definitely proven...

That Fermat was quite the rascal, wasn't he?

And you have the answer to your homework assignment... 😉

Hope it didn't come too late to hand in... 😉

I think you'll find that it has recently been proved. Still it resisted being proved for 350 something years. It is highly unlikely that Fermat had the proof... punk.

The guy who proved it used math that wasn't around when Fermat came up with his last theorem.

I'm inclined to think there is a simpler proof out there, and eventually someone will find it, and future generations will look back on us dummies who couldn't see the obvioius proof in front of them....

(then again, maybe not)

I thought that I remembered hearing or reading that it was proven... after a number of false alarms during the past 10 years or so...

Use Cheat's brain as a substitute. That should be a piece of cake.
