An international group of scientists and mathematicians, meeting at the annual Future of Science conference in Brussels, confirmed that the long-discussed standardisation of 'n' was now necessary to renew flagging interest in science, maths and related professions like engineering worldwide.

The new value of 'n' is still a complex matter. It is expressible as equal to x + 1 where x is the cube root of 125. In most situations, making it 6.
"It is our hope that children, in particular, will now be able to get a better insight into science and be inspired to ask the big questions that this generation haven't begun to ask," said Brigitte.
