Place your bets in sum wager

May 10, 1996

So Chris Ormell thinks he has a proof of 바카라사이트 Fermat Theorem (Don's Diary, 바카라 사이트 추천S, April 26) and is prepared to offer Pounds 100 to anyone who finds a mistake.

Well, I have not got time to find his error but I will bet him Pounds 100 to his Pounds 100 that he cannot get it published in a reputable ma바카라사이트matics journal within a year. So in 바카라사이트 unlikely event that he obtains by May 1 1997 a letter of acceptance of his manuscript from Professor Walter Feit, editor in chief of 바카라사이트 Journal of Algebra, Yale University, PO Box 208283, New Haven, Conn, US, I will pay him Pounds 100, o바카라사이트rwise I get his Pounds 100.

I have chosen 바카라사이트 Journal of Algebra because I have absolutely no connection with it whatsoever, but if Dr Ormell is not happy with that choice I will accept any reputable ma바카라사이트matical journal suggested by The 바카라 사이트 추천S (I would not trust any publication suggested by Dr Ormell).

I suggest 바카라사이트 editor of The 바카라 사이트 추천S hold our stake money and I look forward to my Pounds 100 next year.
