ong multiplication example above. The puzzle was eventually solved in 1995 by Andrew Wiles, a mere 358 years after Fermat claimed to have solved it. Wiles’ proof runs to eighty pages of densely typed mathematical notation — considerably larger than the margin in which Fermat claimed his proof did not qu

The determinists solve the Wiles Paradox by arguing he is a special purpose machine, perfectly able to find answers to non-computable problems. The Turing prohibition only applies to
