Math geeks have a fondness for solving, well, math problems. The most famous of these is Fermat’s last theorem. Pierre de Fermat wrote in 1637 that he had “a truly marvellous (sic) proof” to a long unexplained math problem. Mathematicians had been trying to figure out why the Pythagorean theorem only works for a² + b² = c². If you use any integer above 2, that equation never works. For almost 400 years, mathematics have tried to solve Fermat’s marvellous proof. Andrew Wiles published his very complicated solution in 1995, now only waiting for a good editor to come along.
