Fermat's third from last theorem
After the genius Andrew Wiles stunningly solved Fermat's Last Theorem in the mid-nineties, mathematicians were both elated at the proof, and deflated that another puzzle had been cracked.
The race was on for other obscure marginalia in Fermat's old shopping lists and calendars that might hold other deep secrets from the old boy.
At last, one was found.
Disguised by the cryptic code "bread, milk, eggs", mathematician Flowbert Parrott has spent the last decade trying to plot the function.
Now, with the aid of modern quantum supercomputers wired up to control an Etch-A-Sketch, he has revealed the secret face hidden deep inside pi.
Though he has not at this point shown his workings, he is sure the Fields medal is only moments away.
