The world's greatest Equation

Yeah, the Pythagorean Theorem is hard fuck*ng core.

It's not my favourite equation, though.

That would be:

Xn + yn = zn has no non-zero integer solutions for x, y and z when n > 2.

ROCK ON, FERMAT.


You can see how Fermat's last theorem is directly related to Pythagoras' theorem.

Read more about Andrew Wiles' <Proof> of Jough's nomination for Equation of the Era Here and see how this equation eluded mathematicians for a really, really long time.

Yeah, most HTML is re-written with the HTML entities for < and > rather than the actual tags.

But I can allow some pass-through for tags that don't allow the script attribute.

Can you make a pi available as well?  Maybe as an emoticon?

Are you trying to say (Please forgive me, I couldn't help myself) "When come back, bring pi?"
