Follow up with the story #1 on FLT (Fermat’s Last Theorem), it was finally cracked 358 years later in 1994 by a British mathematician Professor Andrew Wiles in Cambridge.
The proof of FLT is itself another exciting story, a 7-year lonely task on the attic top of his Cambridge house, nobody in the world knew anything about it, until the very day when Prof Wiles gave a seemingly unrelated lecture which ended with his announcement: FLT is finally proved. The whole world was shocked!
