He's just being all high-falutin', paraphrasing Fermat, the great
17th-18th century mathematician, who wrote the paraphrastic equivalent of
the famous theorem now bearing his name in the margins of the book he was
reading in his garden, hours before he unexpectedly croaked.  I take it
that Majcher has now done the same, since we haven't heard back.

It's too bad, really.  As crotchedy and ornery and cantankerous as the old
coot was, I reckon I'll miss him.
