Theorem > >For all integers n > 2, there is NO integer solution for > n n n > A + B = C There are no integers that satisfy this relationship for n < 100000. This makes any solutions (besides 2) trivial. It may be that Fermat thought he had a proof that there are no integers besides 2 that satisfy this condition. That really would have been more interesting. Also, remember that all true statements cannot be proved(Godel's Incompleteness Theorem). Therefore, the proof of the statement that no integer besides 2 satisfies this condition may not exist. Rodney
