The math problem asks to prove that 2 32 + 1 is divisible by 641 without a calculator. This is actually a famous result in number theory—it's the first counterexample to Fermat's conjecture that all Fermat numbers (F n = 2 2 n + 1) are prime! The proof requires some clever algebraic manipulation showing that 641 = 5 × 2 7 + 1 = 5 × 128 + 1 = 641, and also 641 = 2 10 + 2 5 + 1 = 1024 + 32 + 1 = 1057. From there, it's just a few steps to prove divisibility. But honestly, who wants to do all that work? The bottom panel perfectly captures the collective mathematical sigh of "nope, not today" that even seasoned mathematicians feel when faced with tedious proofs.
