Archivists have discovered a previously unknown conjecture by Pierre de Fermat. Found scribbled in the margin of his copy of the January 1979 issue of Tiger Beat magazine is the following note:
I have devised the most marvelous proof that Blondie’s “Heart of Glass” is the best disco song of all time. I don’t have room here for the entire proof.
Reaction from disco academics has been divided. Said Dr. Lenny Euler of USC, ‘This is nonsense. It’s long been known that Donna Summer has ten or more better disco songs. Gauss knew that in his crib!” In contrast, Dr. Pete Laplace of the University of Chicago commented “I think Fermat is correct, but, alas, more than a decade of my own toil has been spent in vain trying to prove just that. I have completed the related proof that Heart of Glass is, of the indisputably great disco songs, the best new wave song. Are you listening, Nobel committee?”
