FOUR_FIFTHS <br> Seek Four Fifth Powers that Sum to a Fifth Power
</h1>
<hr>
<p>
<b>FOUR_FIFTHS</b>,
a Python library which
searches for a solution to the problem of finding
four fifth powers that sum to a fifth power, that is, integers a,
b, c, d and e such that a^5+b^5+c^5+d^5=e^5. Euler conjectured
that no solution was possible. The code is by Brian Hayes.
