Fermat's last theorem
Fermat's last theorem was an algebraic mathematical problem proposed by part-time French mathematician Pierre de Fermat some eight hundred years before the late 24th century.

Following his death, a mathematical equation was found scrawled in the margin of his notes, "xn + yn = zn, where n is greater than 2," which Fermat said had no solution in whole numbers, but he also added a phrase, "remarkable proof."

According to Jean-Luc Picard, people had been trying to find the proof for 800 years, including himself, during his leisure time. Picard found it stimulating, and noted that it put things in perspective stating that "in our arrogance, we feel we are so advanced and yet we cannot unravel a simple knot tied by a part-time French mathematician working alone without a computer." ()

Jadzia Dax stated that one of her previous hosts, Tobin Dax, had "the most original approach to the proof since Wiles over 300 years ago." ()

The theorem was solved again by a little boy in 2382, which was reported on FNN. ()
