Cool Trick w/ Numbers

I could prove it but I don't have enough room here to write it out.

You could have used the margins as well.

Also I think Fermat's Last Theorem was proven finally wasn't it?

1995 iirc, which I should as I only read it this morning.

I don't get it, shouldn't there be some bayesian probability in there or is it just assumed that every person has either met or not met another with probability 0.5?

Yeah I read a book about this ages ago when I got very interested in this illustrous theorem. This one guy shut himself off from the world for years, then came up with a solution, which looked ok upon first peer review.. but turned out to be wrong. So he had to use 7 more years and with the aid of some freshly developed mathematical techniques and he was finally able to prove it. That's from memory and was a long time ago but that was the jest of it I believe.
