But what happened to the m-pire? This is a legitimate term, see e.g. http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=355274.355299&coll=Portal&dl=ACM . -phma
I agree - m-pires are an interesting extension (although I also agree that the assertion Axel removed must be wrong).
I will try to make a couple of images here to make the concepts more readily available (picture is worth a thousand words, etc.). In particular, this seems like the kind of topic which mathematically "unsophisticated" types might be very interested in, so we should smooth the intro as much as possible.
Like Fermat's last theorem, the 4-color theorem is rife with amateur "proof" attempts; I know I've seen a summary of common errors somewhere... User:chas_zzz_brown 16:52 7 oct 02 (UTC)
Quick update: from a google search...
So perhaps the original statement refered to 2-pires... User:chas_zzz_brown 17:34 7 oct 02 (UTC)
