Still don't get it. What do you mean by "base numbers" and what do you mean by "alternate between even and odd"?

'ox_n appears to be trying to prove (by a pigeonhole agument) that the equation x^n + y^n = z^n in unsolvable for _some z_. That's much weaker than proving that it is unsatisfiable at _every_ z.
