Ha! Inside joke for mathematicians!
Never heard of Seed magazine. Anyone know if it's generally worth reading?

My understanding is that Andrew Wiles introduced a partial solution which was part of a presentation ( the description,from what I remember, was funny--along the lines of' oh, and by the way, I haved proved Fermat's last theorem ). It wowed the audience. Then, I believe he followed up and completed it with the help of Richard Taylor.
