Dustup over FLT

There's a typo in this article; they didn't put the superscript in the equation. So I'm looking at

and thinking, have I lost all my mathematical skills? This is totally solvable; what greater mathematical truth am I missing here?

Don't tell me proofreading isn't important. Also, Nova wins again.
