------=_NextPart_001_0001_01C244B5.695DF5D0 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? ----- Original Message ----- From: rforno at tutopia.com Subject: RE: Fermat extended - Only for mathemathicians =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D =20 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.
