Hi, I'm aware of the Goldbach Reduction by Fermat. The problem is once this theorem is placed in the geometric domain the fact that n-prime factors can be reduced to 2 prime factors is critical and a hinderance. It simply isn't possible to tile a even aread triangle with two smaller congruent triangles whose area is prime. As a result Goldbach's older form is more applicable. If it can be shown that such a tiling is always possible then by extension of Fermat's conjecture the two prime supposition is proved. Reductionism can be a friend or an enemy, swords cut both ways. ____________________________________________________________________ Lawyers ask the wrong questions when they don't want the right answers.
