In the first and second line you have placed the letter 'l' which is incorrect.
There should be no l

Timely.

On this subject (sort of) I watched Horizon 'Fermat's last theorem' on iPlayer ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0074rxx/horizon-19951996-fermats-last-theorem )
tells the story of Andrew Wiles proof. Amazing, where would one start? I'm OK'ish at maths but really complex maths fascinates me, I cant even begin to understand it, but fascinating non the less. .

Shame they couldn't work a 'ule' into the first line.

That would give a log a rhythm

Nice one @swansonj

I'm currently checking the proof of the abc conjecture which Mochizucki has published on-line. It looks easy....as 123, quite frankly.

Back of the envelope suffices doesn't it Rocky?

Sorry - cos it's a sine of the times when a thread goes off at a tangent. Christmaths cheer.

Just for the avoidance of doubt, I feel compelled to clarify that I didn't invent this myself, someone else sent it to me....

Seems Aperitif has got you under the cosh there swansonj.

Groan again...

Look, this is all very well, but is there going to be an amusing kitten at some point?

Think he's looking at his categorial variables

And a timely (sort of) response to that is that I bought the book a couple of weeks ago and am currently reading it!

As for the original equation .... taking it one step further proves that Christmas actually amounts to nothing - Bah Humbug!
