Abstract

Fermat Last Theorem, which inspired mathematicians during 300 years, is proved by Andrew Wiles. Even among mathematicians there is a narrow circle of specialists, who can read this proof and understand all details. Is it a reason for pessimism? No, since arithmetics if entire numbers contains broad variety of problems with a simple statement, which might be not less intricate. One of them arises in elementary geometry.
