 * On his blackboard, Homer has the equation 3987^12 + 4365^12 = 4472^12. This appears to violate Fermat's last theorem, as most calculators with less than 10 decimal places will show them as equal. However, it turns out there is a 0.000000002% difference between the equations. This is known as a near miss. Another near miss appears in "Treehouse of Horror VI".
