1. In the TV
documentary, which American band featured on the
soundtrack?
b) Blondie.
This is one of the few American bands that could be
easily cleared for use on the BBC. The track "One Way or Another" appears as the documentary
location moves from Europe to America.
2. Descartes declared that Pierre
de Fermat...
a) was a
braggart.
3. Fermat discovered that the
numbers 17,296 and 18,416 are
a)
amicable.
You can find out more at Ask Dr. Math.
4. Which company asked Andrew Wiles
to endorse a new range of menswear after he had proved
Fermat's Last Theorem?
a) Gap.
Or at
least this is what I heard. If indeed they did ask Professor
Wiles to promote their clothes, then he declined.
5. When I was short-listed for a
science book prize, I was awarded a prize which had mistakenly
engraved upon it...
c) Fermat's Latest
Theorem.
I think that this was a hint that they
were expecting a sequel. Fortunately, they were kind enough to
make another award with the correct title, so I am in the
unique position of having two Rhone-Poulenc awards in one
year. |
