Question & Pierre de Fermat
« on: 2002-07-19 05:02:43 »
Hi Qhimm,
I was wondering~ is Griever supporting Japanese (PSX) saved-games as well?

Now about Pierre de Fermat!!!
Hey he is Franch ^^
Indeed about he is one of a great mathmatician... Man I'm so done with math...

???????????????????????
Okay, the first question belongs here, alright ... but:
Who the heck is Pierre de Fermat (okay, he's a mathmatician, but what has he got to do with us ??? )

Fermat is briefly mentioned on the main site, in one of the news updates.

Oh, and about the question: I haven't been able to test Griever against Japanese PSX saves, so I honestly don't know. But for one, the character encodings for names are surely different, so I don't expect Griever to work perfectly.

Ah, I see. I just hope you're not really going to act like him as far as you releases are concerned ... :D

If I'm not mistaken Pierre de Fermat was the guy who created the "Fermat's Last Theorem" right? He explained why you can or cannot draw a shape without lifting the pencil or some sort. I think he took 3 years to figure it out by locking himself up while trying to figure out the formulae.. I can't remember the formulae now, I know it has something to do with x, y and z... ermmm mathematics... so Qhimm was saying that he was like Fermat... which I think he is.... hehe  :)
My sir did taught me a bit on that Theorem, but ah, I've forgotten it.
Let me guess, I think it is: x^n+y^n = z^n ??? (^ = power of)
Can't remember.....  :P

Fermat's Last Theorem states:
x^n + y^n = z^n
has no integer solutions for any n > 2

I guess we'll never find out if Fermat really solved it. Since it's been proven nowadays, no one's going to bother tracing Fermat's possible solution  :)

Minus some trivial cases..  :wink:

There is still a relatively big search for a 'clean' proof, btw. Although the current proof has no errors, it's not exactly pretty. Depends how you look on things, of course, but it stretches a very wide area (up until multi-dimensional complex analysis) instead of staying with discrete number theories. Although there is beauty in that..

Good news Qhimm it worked, It's really awesome to play Japanese FF8 again plus "cheat" as a major punishments to enemies & bosses (HEEHEE)!

Pierre de Fermat:
One of my friend told me that one of Princeton mathematic professor published profs of Fermat's last theorem (I guess this is good news after all) =)
