It’s not a 360 page proof, it just appears that many pages into the book. That’s the whole proof.

Weak-ass proof. You could fit this into a margin.

Upvoting because I trust you it’s funny, not because I understand.

It’s a reference to Fermat’s Last Theorem.

Tl;dr is that a legendary mathematician wrote in a margin of a book that he’s got a proof of a particular proposition, but that the proof is too long to fit into said margin. That was around the year 1637. A proof was finally found in 1994.
