Although both problems were daunting and widely considered to be "completely inaccessible" to proof at the time, [2] this was the first suggestion of a route by which Fermat's Last Theorem could be extended and proved for all numbers, not just some numbers. This had been the case with some other past conjectures, such as with Skewes' number , and it could not be ruled out in this conjecture. Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society.
