And yet I gave enough info that they could be googled.

The Sibyl is a mythical figure who had nine books of unspeakably ancient wisdom that she offered at a price. When the great king who was to buy wanted to haggle, she kept the price fixed but began burning the books in front of the king. He caved and bought the remaining three at the full price for the nine. Dork.

Pierre de Fermat was a mathematician who set the stage for Leibniz and Newton. He wrote that tantalizing note in the margin of his copy of a math text that he had found a peculiarly elegant (his word, "marvelous") proof of his Last Theorem, but didn't write it down anywhere that survived. Andrew Wiles did succeed in an analytical proof, but that was essentially the lifetime work of a man who embodied the feathery borderline between genius and madness.

Pythagoras was a mathematician, philosopher, mystic and scientist who lived during classical Greece's Golden Age. It would be fascinating to talk to the Carl Sagan of 2550 years ago. "Myriads and myriads", lol!

Since the premise was "dinner" and not "dinner and a movie", I omitted history's awesome hotties. cn

Sibyl sounds like a bitch. Did the king get wiser?
Pierre, I hate math.
Pythagoras, did he strip on the side?

It's for what they knew ... lost knowledge. It appeals to the amateur historian of science and philosophy in me. cn
