The problem
Show that an odd prime can be written as with integers if and only if .
Fermat announced it and Euler first proved it. Since then it has been proved by descent, by lattices, by Gaussian integers, and in a single sentence by an involution on triples of integers. Proofs this different about one theorem are exactly what this board is for.
