I have yet to have it become it's own problem.

Yes, I've tried consulting and decided a FT gig was more worth it.

For over ten years I ran a consulting business that specialized in replacing key people immediately. If you were funded by someone who knew of me, or were insured by a company that regularly hired me, or placed by an agency that supplies workers, then I would get a call. I stopped when the unicorn employees became more common and easier to replace.

I just love how SCIENTISTS are presented with abnormal behavior closely associated with the group they are studying and completely dismiss it as a variable worthy of research. Maybe anger issues are related to the problem. I kinda side with the guy calling their research crap and them all dummies because they can't remove themselves from the equation.

I see it more like walking away knowing that I have checkmate whether the other person can see it or not. If you pay attention to the conditions that must necessarily exist, like the that the difference between two whole squares can be represented as EITHER an integer base taken to a power higher than two, or the sum of a series of consecutive odd numbers, the number of terms equaling the original base number of the higher power equation.

I got to call them like I see them. Thanks for announcing that you stepped on that land mine.

Copy this into wolfram alpha:

p=2, n=5, x=1/2(p+1)p^((n-1)/2), y=1/2(p-1)p^((n-1)/2)

Try changing the values and playing with it until you understand that there will always be x^2 - y^2 for all p^n, n>2.

Consecutive base numbers will necessarily alternate between even and odd. So even the closest base numbers still have a gap between their resulting odd number series, which only increases as the distance between base numbers increases.

Yes.

x and y will be a multiple of the base number.

What other mindset do you see working better?

It's completely arrogant to assume that because it hasn't been solved by "better" people that I couldn't solve it.

_DON'T DOWN VOTE JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO MATH_

The proof Fermat hinted to was about the difference between squares. All whole numbers taken to a power greater than two (n^3) can be represented as the difference between two whole squares (x^2 - y^2). These differences can then be shown as the sum of consecutive odd numbers:

    2^3 = 3^2 - 1^2 = (1+3+5) - (1) = 8,
    3^3 = 6^2 - 3^2 = (1+3+5+7+9+11) - (1+3+5) = 27,
    4^3 = 10^2 - 6^2 = (1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17+19) - (1+3+5+7+9+11) = 64

    5^3 = 15^2 - 10^2 = (21+23+25+27+29) = 125

When you examine the odd number series that results from each base, you'll discover that there will always be a gap if you try and combine two odd number series together, which explains Fermat's little joke about margins. The same trick works for higher powers.

It's not that hard people. Stop believing everything you're told about how "hard" something is.

HINT: The number of odd numbers in the series exactly matches the starting square base number

It doesn't work in my browser. Shame. I really felt like wasting some time just now.

I'm real curious how he got the rights to the image on the cover.
