I am slightly confused.. is this "extended conjecture" something that Fer=
mat himself brought into awareness, or is it an idea of your own that ste=
ms from Fermat's Last theorem????  And if it is.. why not call it "rforno=
's theorem?"  Maybe I missed something in an earlier post.. what conjectu=
re are you discussing here?

OK, James, but do you have any information about the "extended conjecture=
"
I
am posing? It is a generalisation of Last Fermat's Theorem. I do not have
the mathematical abilities to try to solve it, so I only tried to find a
counterexample with my program, knowing that if it finds one, the
"Extended
Fermat=B4s Conjecture" will be disproved.
Regards.
