00:00:50,125 --> 00:00:52,Do you know what prime numbers are?

00:00:52,542 --> 00:00:55,Because if you don't,
you should just leave now.

00:00:57,583 --> 00:01:00,In 1742, the mathematician
Christian goldbach

00:01:00,583 --> 00:01:03,observed that even numbers
could be expressed

00:01:03,333 --> 00:01:05,as the sum of two prime numbers.

00:01:06,583 --> 00:01:08,It's easy to see
with small numbers.

00:01:08,583 --> 00:01:10,18, an even number, is 7+ 11,

00:01:11,042 --> 00:01:12,which are prime.

00:01:12,208 --> 00:01:15,24 is 5 + 19, which are prime.

00:01:15,458 --> 00:01:18,50 is 13 + 37, and so on.

00:01:18,750 --> 00:01:20,Say an even number.

00:01:21,042 --> 00:01:22,100.

00:01:22,875 --> 00:01:24,1,000.

00:01:24,667 --> 00:01:26,100 is 83 + 17.

00:01:26,958 --> 00:01:28,And 1,
00:01:28,250 --> 00:01:31,is 521 + 479.

00:01:31,583 --> 00:01:33,It works with
much larger numbers too.

00:01:33,375 --> 00:01:35,Let's see, any number...

00:01:36,292 --> 00:01:37,7,112.

00:01:37,958 --> 00:01:39,7,
00:01:42,292 --> 00:01:45,5,119 +

00:01:45,875 --> 00:01:47,1,993.

00:01:48,292 --> 00:01:49,Both prime numbers.

00:01:50,333 --> 00:01:53,But you can't check it
with all even numbers

00:01:54,125 --> 00:01:55,because numbers are infinite.

00:01:56,125 --> 00:01:58,A law had to be found
that would cover them all.

00:01:58,333 --> 00:02:00,And finding it became
the most difficult problem

00:02:00,750 --> 00:02:02,in the history of mathematics.

00:02:04,875 --> 00:02:06,Will you sign this?

00:02:07,042 --> 00:02:08,Yes, of course.

00:02:08,583 --> 00:02:09,- Your name?
- Inns.

00:02:11,833 --> 00:02:13,For Ines.

00:02:17,542 --> 00:02:19,- Here you are, inés.
- Thank you.

00:02:19,292 --> 00:02:20,- And good luck!
- Thanks.

00:02:21,292 --> 00:02:22,Why "good luck"?

00:02:23,458 --> 00:02:25,On February 20 I'm presenting
my demonstration

00:02:25,958 --> 00:02:27,of goldbach's conjecture.

00:02:28,958 --> 00:02:29,Come up! Hurry!

00:02:51,667 --> 00:02:53,Your demonstration's ruined.

00:02:53,292 --> 00:02:54,F***k!

00:02:55,250 --> 00:02:58,- What'll you do?
- I can repeat it, but I need time.

00:03:00,042 --> 00:03:03,I don't know how they g***t in
without being heard.

00:03:52,917 --> 00:03:59,Fermat's room

00:04:52,208 --> 00:04:56,Four months later

00:05:12,292 --> 00:05:14,You like puzzles, don't you?

00:05:14,958 --> 00:05:16,See if you can answer this.

00:05:17,792 --> 00:05:19,What is the link

00:05:19,333 --> 00:05:23,between Georg cantor,
yutaka taniyama and Kurt godel?

00:05:26,667 --> 00:05:27,Let's see.

00:05:28,875 --> 00:05:30,The three were mathematicians.

00:05:31,667 --> 00:05:34,- The three went down in history...
- And the three went mad.

00:05:35,292 --> 00:05:39,Kurt godel formulated
the theorem of incompleteness.

00:05:39,917 --> 00:05:41,Kurt godel committed suicide.

00:05:42,208 --> 00:05:45,I was very tempted to commit suicide
a few days ago.

00:05:46,958 --> 00:05:48,But I remembered
we had this game,

00:05:48,875 --> 00:05:51,something that you forget
very often.

00:05:52,542 --> 00:05:53,You can't go on like this.

00:05:54,125 --> 00:05:55,You have to get out.

00:05:55,583 --> 00:05:57,I'm speaking as a doctor,
not as a friend.

00:05:57,292 --> 00:05:59,You tell me three times a day.

00:05:59,333 --> 00:05:59,Three!

00:06:00,208 --> 00:06:02,I'm speaking as a mathematician,
not as a friend.

00:06:02,708 --> 00:06:04,In fact, I'm going to go away.

00:06:05,917 --> 00:06:08,Want to see what I g***t
in the mail today?

00:06:13,208 --> 00:06:14,Rook f

00:06:15,458 --> 00:06:16,to e 8.

00:06:18,125 --> 00:06:18,You'll see.

00:06:19,125 --> 00:06:22,"If you are capable of solving
the following puzzle,

00:06:22,667 --> 00:06:23,which I don't doubt,

00:06:23,833 --> 00:06:26,you will be invited
to a weekend gathering

00:06:26,917 --> 00:06:29,with the most ingenious
mathematical minds.

00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,Sincerely,

00:06:32,417 --> 00:06:33,fermat."

00:06:33,583 --> 00:06:34,What's the puzzle?

00:06:34,958 --> 00:06:35,It's

00:06:36,458 --> 00:06:39,a sequence of numbers.
You have to find the pattern.

00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:40,I've g***t ten days,

00:06:41,125 --> 00:06:42,but it isn't easy.

00:06:47,167 --> 00:06:49,Ten days later

00:06:50,167 --> 00:06:53,8,5,4,9,1, 17...

00:07:26,833 --> 00:07:27,Well?

00:07:28,208 --> 00:07:30,Have you solved the problem?

00:07:31,125 --> 00:07:32,No, I haven't.

00:07:33,042 --> 00:07:34,And this was the last day.

00:07:35,125 --> 00:07:37,If you want to stay late,
I'll leave you the key.

00:07:38,333 --> 00:07:40,Drop it in the mailbox afterwards.

00:07:44,125 --> 00:07:45,Thanks.

00:07:46,667 --> 00:07:47,One thing.

00:07:48,583 --> 00:07:52,Put back any books you use
in alphabetical order.

00:08:08,417 --> 00:08:11,Eight, five, four...

00:08:12,125 --> 00:08:14,They're in alphabetical order!

00:08:18,167 --> 00:08:19,Their alphabetical order!

00:08:21,958 --> 00:08:22,Dear sir,

00:08:23,917 --> 00:08:28,only you and three other people
were able to resolve the puzzle.

00:08:29,083 --> 00:08:30,As I said in my last letter,

00:08:30,917 --> 00:08:32,the mathematical society
I preside over

00:08:32,667 --> 00:08:33,would value your presence

00:08:34,125 --> 00:08:37,at one of the meetings we arrange
to exchange knowledge.

00:08:38,792 --> 00:08:41,I hope you weren't offended
by the test.

00:08:41,333 --> 00:08:43,Now I know I can trust you.

00:08:43,792 --> 00:08:46,If you trust me,
follow my directions.

00:08:51,292 --> 00:08:55,On Friday, July 25, at 19:00,
come to the meeting point.

00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,Take highway 141 to km. 18.

00:08:59,875 --> 00:09:02,Take the turn-off
and continue to the end.

00:09:04,208 --> 00:09:05,Remember I ** relying on you

00:09:05,792 --> 00:09:07,to put to you
what I believe to be

00:09:08,208 --> 00:09:11,the most ingenious,
unedited enigma ever set out.

00:09:14,375 --> 00:09:15,Do not bring a cell phone.

00:09:18,625 --> 00:09:21,Give no information about
your identity to the other guests.

00:09:24,708 --> 00:09:26,Your pseudonym during
the gathering

00:09:26,375 --> 00:09:28,will be Pascal.

00:09:31,958 --> 00:09:34,Sincerely, fermat.

00:10:12,542 --> 00:10:15,I'm sorry,
I've broken down here.

00:10:15,917 --> 00:10:17,It happens with old cars.

00:10:17,958 --> 00:10:18,Mr. hilbert.

00:10:19,208 --> 00:10:21,- We're going to the same place!
- Yes. What a coincidence.

00:10:22,750 --> 00:10:24,The more you study logic,

00:10:25,125 --> 00:10:27,the more you value coincidence.

00:10:27,375 --> 00:10:29,Do you know whose phrase that is?

00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:30,No.

00:10:31,250 --> 00:10:32,Mine!

00:11:06,958 --> 00:11:08,Hello.

00:11:08,708 --> 00:11:10,Are you going
to the mysterious gathering?

00:11:13,167 --> 00:11:14,According to my invitation,

00:11:16,333 --> 00:11:17,I should call myself

00:11:18,833 --> 00:11:19,Oliva.

00:11:21,458 --> 00:11:23,That'll be for Oliva sabuco, right?

00:11:25,542 --> 00:11:27,The 16th century scientist.

00:11:35,917 --> 00:11:37,I'm an inventor.

00:11:40,458 --> 00:11:42,Have you invented anything
I might have used?

00:11:42,792 --> 00:11:43,I don't know.

00:11:44,208 --> 00:11:47,Lots of things,
from huge hydraulic presses to...

00:11:48,292 --> 00:11:49,Look, things like this.

00:11:50,583 --> 00:11:51,You'll like this.

00:12:04,750 --> 00:12:05,This is...

00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:08,Well, you put the corn in here

00:12:09,375 --> 00:12:10,and then

00:12:12,667 --> 00:12:15,the popcorn
comes out of his mouth.

00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,A duck.

00:12:30,667 --> 00:12:32,Why the nicknames?

00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:33,Well,

00:12:34,250 --> 00:12:37,in theory because what matters
at these meetings are the ideas,

00:12:37,542 --> 00:12:38,not the people.

00:12:39,292 --> 00:12:40,That's nice.

00:12:41,167 --> 00:12:44,I'm sick of people saying I'm right
because of who I **.

00:12:44,875 --> 00:12:47,Yes, it's best
if we don't know each other.

00:12:47,292 --> 00:12:48,But I do know you.

00:12:53,167 --> 00:12:55,I saw your photo in a magazine.

00:12:55,667 --> 00:12:58,It said that you'd resolved

00:12:58,625 --> 00:13:00,goldbach's conjecture.

00:13:02,417 --> 00:13:03,Is it true?

00:13:05,208 --> 00:13:07,If it is,
it's best if no one knows.

00:13:07,458 --> 00:13:10,You'd all say I was right,
just because of who I **.

00:13:46,625 --> 00:13:47,Hi, there!

00:13:49,833 --> 00:13:51,We're all here now.

00:13:52,625 --> 00:13:54,We weren't supposed
to know each other.

00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:55,And we don't.

00:13:56,875 --> 00:13:59,Mr. galois picked me up on the road.

00:13:59,750 --> 00:14:00,It's 19:00.

00:14:01,458...
