Because the image stated on the first line is not Pythagoras' theorem. That strictly applies to when n=2. Fermat's Last Theorem is for when the power is generalised. (This is also why I included "last theorem" as a visible part of the clue, since that is famously part of what it is called, never used for Pythag's one).
Also, two rows later you have Pythagoras' theorem anyway, which does accept Pythagorean as an answer (even though it doesn't make grammatical sense with the apostrophe)
Why Einstein? He was a physicist, not a mathematician. Also, how are people supposed to recognize Fibonacci from some random portrait made centuries after his death? I would add a hint, like 'introduced Arabic numbers to Europe' or something
Ok, so I definitely didn't recognize Fibonacci from his portrait, which... eh, maybe that's on me. I probably should have.
But going from just the caption alone, that question was incredibly vague. There are plenty and plenty of people who are famous for their "numbers."
Admittedly several of these I know to look nothing like the picture, but still, just from the caption, it could be Abel, Cayley, Descartes, Euclid, Euler, Gauss, Hamilton, Hilbert... and we're only at H. The the list goes on.
I guess what I'm saying is that I think of it as being the Fibonacci Sequence more than just his "numbers", and including that word would make for a slightly more specific hint that would probably have helped me get to where you were coming from.
Pascal's Triangle, just forgot the name, I'd first seen it on some 1970s Open University episode on statistics and probability distributions.
Never heard of a Klein Bottle though! Anyway thanks for another enjoyable quiz :o)

Any chance of making that change?
(Other than that, I enjoyed the quiz!)
