I think I heard about that movie...something about it sounds familiar...did it go straight 2 video?? And what genre would u put it in, just out of interest??

I liked Nurse Betty!! That was one warped movie...few little things wrong with it but I thought it was super. But maybe not the scalping.

"Murder/Intellectual thriller"? It sounds like your video library has some pretty precise categories! Does it have things like "Stupid Thriller" or "Films with crap endings"?

Intellectual thriller : The solving of Fermat's Theorem?

Actually, will agree with you on the black muscly thing...nice...I was just being annoyingly pc...

Do you mean Intellectual Thriller, ie. not movies like Scream/What Lies Beneath that may be thrillers but are pretty um...less intellectual than others??

Or was it a Thriller, and you are an Intellectual who viewed it??

Um. I think that's enough.

I think that joke belongs in the "Intellectual Comedy" section.

I actually have a really good book on the solution to Fermats Last Theorem. Written for the average person in mind and has the harder math in the back for those that want to see. Does not give full solution but explains the history of the puzzle and how it was eventually solved.!

As for why intellectual thriller it doesn't go alot into his illness but explores his ability to cope with it in his everyday life. What goes on in his head and how that interacts with his real life.

Just Watch it You'll get it after that!

... he also thought I looked like Kathleen from Hi Five?

Was the book about solving Fermat's Last Theorem the one by a Mr Singh (can't remember his first name)? It made for a good read ...

Is it sad that I got the jokes?

He, it this pick on Sparker day?

Apparently So Sparker sorry!

Yeah that was the book [0-0}. I really enjoyed it, and no it doesn't make you sad that you got the jokes! So did I. I Even got all the complex maths so what does that say.

huh?? there were jokes there?? I thought we were talking about a movie with a muscly black guy...

Anyway, what is Fermat's Theorem?? (I don't want to know because Maths doesn't sit well with me, but I have to now. I can't risk being out of the loop.)

Bardot. Funny.

Fermat's Last Theorem:

You know how you can get numbers such that

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 ... ?

Well, Fermat's last theorem said that you can't do this for powers greater than 2 ?

ie you can't find infinite different solutions to:

a^n + b^n = c^n, n >2

Someone with a maths degree correct me?

Slight correction it means that for n>2 there are no whole number solutions for the equation.

the whole thing about it was fermat wrote down that this was so. didn't prove it but wrote in the margin of a book that he had proved it then died.

For the next 300 years (give or take) mathematicians have been trying to solve it! And in 1994 some guy did! (I was at Uni at time doing Pure Maths degree, it was really exciting!) Then someone said hey wait a sec but you forgot to prove this little bit so for the next 12 months he set about proving the little bit so that it all worked.

Thanks for that ... I forgot to mention the integer thingy ... (:

Thing is, the problem initially seemed so easy... it had already driven a gazillion previous mathematicians completely bonkers because of this (:

Right. I understand the whole 'dramatic unfinished work' part of the mystery...but the maths eludes me...that's fine though.

Enjoy your respective weekends.

Sorry, you sort of can't write powers of numbers too easily ... no super script and subscript type things in html... you remember pythagoras ? the squares of the length of the two shorter sides of a triangle add up to the square of the length of the longer side ...

droidy, i wouldn't even bother trying to explain that this symbol ^ is a "to the power of" when you can't superscript to em, em wouldn't even know pythagorous, let alone everything else.....!

but you guys lost me in this blog.....from black muscley men to maths to classifying movies....what the?

and yep, glad it is pick on someone else day and not pick on me for once!
