Guest question time. gammafunction sent in this question. Completely worded and framed by him. Thanks buddy!
This conjecture was first suggested by 1, in mid-19th century. The first public reference to it was in a paper by 2, who was a famous 19th century British Mathematician. After several attempts by a number of people, this was finally proved in the last quarter of the 20th century by these guys-3.Though all countries in the world conform to this theorem only 4. 5. and 6. do not.
Just give me the name of the theorem and the two men in 3.
