Well, well, well, if Fermat could posit his theorems with mathematical texts whose origins predated the Arabs, this is like Liebnitz being able to mathematically discuss 'Motus" and 'Ponens' without reference to Sir Isaac Newton....hmmm...

One such lemma is that the difference of the cubes of two rational numbers is equal to the sum of the cubes of two other rational numbers, i.e. given any numbers a, b then there exist numbers c, d such that a3 - b3 = c3 + d3. If you put two lemmas together, do you get a dilemma?

P.S. What do you get when you cross a mathemetician with a monk ?
A Dali lemma...

... a number of the form 24n + 7 cannot be the sum of three squares. This can be tightened up. A number of the form 8n + 7 cannot cannot be the sum of three squares.
