Fermat’s Last Theorem

In the margins of his copy of arithmetica, Fermat proposed that the equation xn + yn = zn had no positive integer solutions of x, y and z for n > 2, and claimed to have discovered a proof for this.

This heavy dampening or even depressing feeling may in part be because of the colour and the psychological effects it has on humans.
