Hey Harris, I bet you picked your new pseudonym "bassam king ..." as a
play on "assing king". Conscious choice, or subconscious Freudian
slip? Or is that what Quinn affectionately calls you?

I noticed your reply today only, and really speaking I didn't get the wisdom of your reply separately
I wonder also if you realize that the issue is about FLT, where I have made it very clear in my original thread that for assumed counter example (x, y, z) must form a triangle, where also mentioned for a counter example to be considered the following inequality must hold true always:

Sqrt (x^2+y^2) > z > Sqrt (x^2+y^2-x*y)

Which also means that the angle opposing the larger side (z) must be between (60, 90) degrees

3 does not divide 4*7*8, but it does divide (4+7)*(4+8)*(7+8).

I withdraw the above example.

It's not applicable in the context of the problem.

Assuming the equation

(x+y+z)^3 =3*(x+y)*(x+z)*(y+z)

you are definitely correct in your statement that if 3 does not divide
x*y*z then 3 does not divide (x+y)*(x+z)*(y+z).

So yes, you can prove FLT for p=3, case 1, but that's the absolute
easiest case. What about p=3, case 2?
