Andrew Wiles stumbled across the world's greatest mathematical puzzle, Fermat's Theorem, as a ten- year-old schoolboy, beginning a 30-year quest with just one goal in mind - to solve the problem ...

Ticket scalping laws vary widely and are more involved than the BCS formula or Fermat's Theorem. By the time you finally figure out whether it's legal to scalp a ticket, the game is likely to be over.

Now, a team of mathematicians led by a prominent Kyoto University professor has offered an alternative proof to Fermat's Last Theorem, the potential second solution in the past quarter-century.
