In the third segment of "Treehouse of Horror VI," viewers saw Homer Simpson enter into... the third dimension.







While Homer was there, various equations and polygons were seen floating behind him. For a brief moment, viewers could see the equation above, which appears to disprove Fermat's Last Theorem (which states that no three positive integers a, b, and c can satisfy the equation an + bn = cn for any integer value of n greater than two.)





Curiously enough, if you plug the equation floating behind Homer into a standard calculator, those numbers check out. So, did Homer Simpson actually solve an equation that's been eluding the mathematicians for nearly 400 years? Well... no. A scientific calculator would tell you that, if you take a y-root of 12 of each side of the equation, you're off by about 0.00000004. But, good try, Mr. Simpson.
