Sounds interesting, but not sure what you mean by:

> you'll discover that there will always be a gap if you try and combine two odd number series together

Can you elaborate?

ox_n's last theorem

Consecutive base numbers will necessarily alternate between even and odd. So even the closest base numbers still have a gap between their resulting odd number series, which only increases as the distance between base numbers increases.

Still don't get it. What do you mean by "base numbers" and what do you mean by "alternate between even and odd"?

'ox_n appears to be trying to prove (by a pigeonhole agument) that the equation x^n + y^n = z^n in unsolvable for _some z_. That's much weaker than proving that it is unsatisfiable at _every_ z.
