Two high school seniors, Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson from New Orleans, achieved a significant mathematical breakthrough by solving a 2,000-year-old puzzle that was considered impossible. Their work, which involved producing a trigonometry proof for the Pythagorean Theorem, has been recognized as a major advance in the field. This accomplishment was featured on '60 Minutes' and has been widely reported as a surprising and innovative solution to a problem that has stumped the math world for centuries.
