Fermat's Penultimate Theorem is the name of the statement in number theory that For any seven non-zero integers , , , , , , and where and where and , . This theorem and its proof are rather unremarkable; the most surprising thing about it is that Fermat was not aware of a previously existing, more concise, proof of "his" theorem. The fact that the problem's statement and solution is understandable by schoolchildren makes it all the more frustrating that Fermat wasted over three and a half pages on the subject, leaving him no room to prove his last theorem. Among math nerds, Fermat's Penultimate Theorem has achieved almost cult status, and "making up Fermat proofs", the practice of making up new, convoluted proofs to simple mathematical problems, is one of the most pervasive memes at Wolfra
