Episode description

For more than 350 years, a single problem stumped the world of mathematics. The problem was extremely simple to state, yet it proved fiendishly difficult to prove. For several centuries, bounties were placed on finding a solution, and many failed to prove it. Finally, in 1994, seemingly out of nowhere, a proof was offered, but it was far cry from the initial promise of being simple.
