Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on April 11, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Sir Andrew Wiles! May your celebrations be as elegant and timeless as the proof you crafted for Fermat's Last Theorem. We hope today brings fewer equations to solve and more cake slices to count—though we suspect you'll find a theorem hidden somewhere in that frosting.

Your groundbreaking work earned you prestigious honors like the Wolf Prize in 1995 and the Royal Medal in 1996, but let's face it: nothing beats finally silencing Pierre de Fermat after centuries of mathematical teasing. Here's wishing you infinite happiness (and finite birthday candles)—because even mathematicians deserve an easy equation once a year!
