How to prove Fermat's Last Theorem in under 7 seconds

[hawkeyeheo]

LOl

[TheNosnawS]

...l it took me a second to get it, very clever.

[reubassoon]

Love it!

[tomaskvapil]

Make video where you explain this :D

[HaslamCorp]

Just FYI. This is the first video of your's that I saw. I was hooked.

[zardo4michael]

So, I guess the answer to the tile is "you can't" ! You need 100 pages like Andrew Wiles did... =)

[barghouthizaid]

hhhhh ,, good one..

[barghouthizaid]

good one

[heyandy889]

Damn it singingbanana

[DontMockMySmock]

NERD JOKES

[Shukria123]

ho ho ho

[waynerad]

Haha!!

[LightDarkNinja]

your accent remines me of david tennant acting doctor who

[WestBoysX2]

i love it!

[Andy0n7]

i came here just to dislike but this brilliant proof blow my mind

[WestBoysX2]

@Andy0n7 lol you only get it if you know what hes talking about

[Andy0n7]

@WestBoysX2 i know...

[GetMeThere1]

Actually, I have a REALLY clever and unexpected solution to Fermat's last theorem, but it's just a BIT too long to put into a comment. Sorry.

[shawnwilliams77]

LOL! Genius!

[danjoelabrenica]

are you spinning?

[Wolkeyfentah]

Singing Banana I thought you were going to prove it in seven seconds! I got so excited. Then I realized you were joking and I laughed. Then I realized I must be a nerd because I understood the joke.

[Quite2Quiet]

I just did a total Sheldon Cooper laugh. Thank you.

[Bluefire272]

Guys, if you don't get the joke, don't dislike this vid.

[AjedrezEnEspanol]

Understanding the joke makes me feel extremely nerdy.

[lnventlve]

This extremely cerebral joke is bound to go over 99.9% of people's heads.

[UltraProle21]

lmao people should start using the fermat strategy on homework and tests. just say there's not enough paper for the marvelous proof you've come up with.

[MrBigEnchilada]

it takes like 2 hours probably

[sleepybrownbear]

I'm sure that I would find this video funnier if I had any idea of what Fermat's Last Theorem was. Oh well, here's to being a dope :P

[deathendz]

@sleepybrownbear it was the world's hardest maths theorm and was unsolved for 348 years, took a guy 6 years to solve it lol

[nextblain]

fermat pawned XD

[webmastertool]

lmfao this video is brilliant. 67 people don't know the reference to fermat saying the margin in his book is too small to contain the proof.

[Kyuutoryuu]

@webmastertool I saw the documentary, did Fermat say it in an excuse type of way, similar to this one?

[unique95]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[Cinqmil]

You, sir, are a genius! :)

[Kizerlk07]

i think i remember this line. google.

[neogeo328]

LOL. This is hilarious!

[MinarchoCapitalist]

and the second Millennium Prize goes to.... nevermind.

[carlo4528]

very clever



[megafragmaster]

I'm sorry but,i don't get the joke.I googled Fermat's Last Theorem but still don't understand the joke.Can someone please explain it to me?

[kamiakin5]

@megafragmaster when Fermat claimed that no three positive integers satisfied a^n + b^n = c^n for n > 2, he wrote in the same paper something to the effect that he found a proof, but the margin was too narrow to contain it.

so in a way, he is being clever and paralleling Fermat

[megafragmaster]

@kamiakin5 Oh,i see now :D Thanks alot !

[floopsie666]

LOL this is clever 

[nietsnatsud]

lol i was expecting this to suck, and my prophecy was fulfilled.

[Thedreamshaperabc]

@nietsnatsud

Meaby you just didnt get it :)



[nietsnatsud]

@Thedreamshaperabc or maybe I do, and it sucks.

[boonphoe]

I have no idea

[silverlight0011]

What did he say?

[gpburr]

@silverlight0011 "I have a truly marvelous demonstration of Fermat's last theorem.. which this video is too short to contain. " It's a joke that you don't get.

[silverlight0011]

@gpburr Thanks!

[Neavris]

That got me a few laughs, but I wish it were true.

[oldinion]

I like this. :)

[MyOverflow]

Brilliant!

[yeonkarSR]

Got the joke haha. funny

I guess others who dont know the joke don't know who fermat actually is ...

[antonioACR1]

lol funny

[Nochibou1]

This are way too clever jokes

[illustriouschin]

This joke made me go look at wikipedia.

[DrShpilev]

I feel as if I've been rick-rolled.

[singingbanana]

@presbarkeep Never mind. Jokes aren't for everybody.

[gpburr]

@presbarkeep You obviously lack the knowledge to understand the reference. Ignorant people always get a thumbs down.

[jstock2317]

HA

[Alhoshka]

You just made my day!

[MrSyCoe]

hahaha, I get it! Kinda like the margin not having enuff room!

[robinhood3443]

at first i was like "whaaa?" but then i was like "oh haha good one"

[tatfr0guy]

haha nice

[PS3Dragon4087]

in a new york city subway station there is writing on the wall that says

"I have a nice little proof for Fermat's last thereom but my train is coming so I have to go."

I love those jokes.

[GreekSawyer]

jajajaja this reminds me of someone's words but who could that person be...? XD nice one!

[diogenden]

Damn it u made me laugh man :) I was expecting some bollox, but u made me laugh. Awesome video!

[adamjr94]

Imma let you finish Cauchy, but Wiles' proof of Fermat's last theorem was the best of ALL TIME!!!

[MADLmaan]

LMAO. this made my day

[thekillerhjkhjk]

25 people didnt have enough room in the margin

[Yuzling]

@allrare

Haha same!

[seniorbooboojuice1]

Hahahaha thismade me laugh

[chrypton1]

Great!

[doggylikesoup]

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA­HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHH­AHAHAAHAHAHAHA so good! I was shrieking with laughter.

[RandomNinjaOfEvil]

I know a solution for a³+b³=c³ and all a,b,c are different. I think it might be cheating a little.

[diogenden]

@RandomNinjaOfEvil a, b, c are different ffs!!! And I bet u don't have a solution, it's been proven it doesn't exist for integer a,b,c numbers.

[RandomNinjaOfEvil]

I applaud you sir, such a classic joke.

[MeetYourMeaker]

Fermat was right it was to short to contain(about 120 pages).

[allrare]

I wouldn't of got this joke if I hadn't watched the Andrew Wiles Documentary only moments before.

[fermatxxi]

To know about the new Fermat's proof, click on the left.

[CelloMusic4ever]

I don't get it......someone explain please????

[JebusInVegas]

@CelloMusic4ever This comment box is too small to contain the explanation. Google Fermat's Last Theorem.

[soulfunkcity]

@JebusInVegas when Fermat s work was published by his son, he said something along the lines of. I can provide proof of my theory but it is too long to fit in this paragraph and that is the only documented evidence we have. unfotunately fermats works were lost I beieve.

[thisisvlad]

:-D

[looloopklop]

do you actually understand this theorum? im in high school and i get lost at elliptical curves...

[acdc10133]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA excellent :). I was quite interested in this video though lol.

[luislinuxero]

Good one :P

[luislinuxero]

LOL!!

[lokhtar]

I came in expecting a boatload of stupid. I am leaving feeling quite amused. Well done!

[MathMikie]

that not even a proof i am looking for a detailed proof more precisely a good in depth explanation of andrew wiles proof i sne dthe doc but it doesnt explain all the maths behind the ideas

[zardo4michael]

A bit stupid video but weirdly enough.. I like it !

[scudman15]

This is the best proof I have ever seen

[0kills]

IMMA LET YO UFINISHh... but I THINK pythagoras was the greateest mathemathician of all time...!! all time!

[MoreApathy]

@0kills Why Pythagoras? I just entered "greatest mathematician" at Google and the top link was a list that put Pythagoras at #28. And the entry under his name gave reasons why the author thought that number was probably too high! And personally, I would have placed Gauss over Newton. That link was to fabpedigree.

[0kills]

@MoreApathy

lol... it's a kanye west interrupting taylor switf reference xD

[singingbanana]

@0kills Hahaha. I liked this :)

[doggylikesoup]

@0kills fermat was the kanye of his day.

[CogitoErgoCogitoSum]

@0kills Who's the better mathematician? Fermat or Pythagoras? Fermat didnt prove anything, he only said he did and we have taken it on faith ever since - we called it a theorem in spite of there not being a proof. Pythagoras, on the other hand, did proved something - but mathematicians the world over have been recreating alternative proofs ever since because, still, no one is convinced.

[pulsedrop]

of course your so smart cuz you have a british accent

[Wikimancer]

HAH!

[Yu2Kal]

didnt fermat's last theorem take like 100 or more years to prove?

[WieFunktioniertMathe]

@Yu2Kal

Even more than 300 years. The final proof's (Andrew Wiles) length is about 100 sites in total.

[dannyboy785]

300 years

[JimmyGrimbleRB]

This should be funny to any mathematician :P

[OsakaChiyoDestroyU]

This video proves to me that the proof is not what matters, but the inspiring ideas that create them.

All Fermat needed was time.

[redetrigan]

Hah, cute.

[djdogjuam]

lol i was expecting this to suck, but that was very clever.

[EvolutoProTV]

That's siiiiiiik. lol.

[TomRiverstone]

great job

[CogitoErgoCogitoSum]

HILARIOUS

[milfballs]

EXTREME GENIUS!

[michaelcweir]

Hey My proof of Fermat's last theorem has just been confirmed as correct. Go to my channel and see for yourself.

[Mattprole]

If you really had such a proof you would most certainly not have to advertise it here.

[michaelcweir]

The owner of this video has been kind enough to leave my comment here. it is very difficult to get other mathematicians to look at proofs of other people. I know, because I've tried in the past. Now that someone has taken a look (who has some math background) and says that the proof is confirmed, soon other mathematicians will be curious enough. to see for themselves. Since I have posted,on blog, july 25, nobody has said the proof is wrong. If you think it is wrong or right, say something.

[Mattprole]

I apologize for my slightly malicious comment; i admire your aspirations.

[michaelcweir]

Thank you for supporting my effort.

[KortusLombardie]

Who the hell confirmed your proof?

[saturnv5]

Hahahaha thats smart.

[TheCompyGuru]

Fermat wrote in the margin of a book called Arithmetica: " On the other hand, it is impossible to seperate a cube into two cubes, or a biquadrate into two biquadrates, or generally any power except a square into two powers with the same exponent. I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this, which, however, the margin is not large enought to contain."

[BleakCries]

i dont get it....=/

[nadinelove27]

i dont either

[chandraiitk]

@BleakCries This video is just toooo funny if u understand how this theorem was mentioned by Fermat in his note.

Fermat wrote about 2-3 lines stating this theorem (conjecture that time) in middle of a book, followed by a mysterious line saying that he has a wonderful proof for this conjecture but the space is too small to explain it.

This video takes on that last line :-)

[bobby1829387]

wow i never realized that the answer was the video itself :P good one :P

[thepianoaddict]

thats what fermat wrote :P only he didn't use the word video :P thats funny :P

[emjay1264jr]

lol

[Nemesiss120]

You made me love maths!

[papacarpenter]

I'd have to say that this proof is 'marginal' in the historical sense. 8-P

Very nice.

[singingbanana]

Best comment ever! :)

[Yu2Kal]

@papacarpenter i dont understand what u mean

[papacarpenter]

@Yu2Kal Singingbanana's clip is a take-off on the story that Fermat, shortly before his death, wrote a colleague about the theorem, saying that he had discovered a proof that would not fit in the margin of the letter. This has provoked centuries of speculation on what his 'proof' was.

The 'marginal' was thus just a pun on the story - and now I've killed any wit associated with it; but hey, you asked.

[Yu2Kal]

@papacarpenter oh i see, thanks dude

[MelkorNoir]

rofl nice one

[quantiseduniverse]

Come on, 7 seconds is a heck of a long time to prove the FLT.

[KylVonCarstein]

I really wasn't expecting that....Good work! XD

[RNXlaks]

Haha nice man, straight from his margin to modern day society. ;;;DDD

[BadBoyBrioche]

Thanks a lot, I'll buy it.

[BadBoyBrioche]

Do a real Fermat's theorum. TEACH ME!

[singingbanana]

The real proof? It's something like a hundred pages long and beyond most mathematicians. I can recommed the book "Fermat's Last Theorem" by Simon Singh.

[CheatProjectDotCom]

i have it :D! and have read it..i like especially the problems in it!:D..lol i've posted lots now xD

[nero314100]

@singingbanana i have that, great book.

[aannttee11]

haha love it :)

[TyYann]

I got a very good proof too. But I have only 392 characters remaining for this comment and it's too short...

[sickdrifter]

haha, pretty funny!

[thingthingy]

Awesome

[ghosty4ever]

=( i thaught it was truw l0l
