It looks like powers of three, except that the third power is missing, or is it the squares of powers of three with an extra term of 3 > thrown into it? It has lots of mathematical references: Godel's Theorem, the Pythagorean sect, Fermat's Last Theorem (which yes, is proved by Wiles during the timeline of the book), Wittgenstein's philosophy of mathematics, and more. I guess you need to be in "prime" form to see other solutions! The math and higher end concepts make it a 6. It is a good mystery with a surprising double twist at the ending, although critics may have a point in that the character construction is not very deep. But the mathematical content was also a smokescreen to compensate for the under developed characters, most significantly that of the grand daughter.

Now, whichever version of the story you believe (one side claims that the Russian's proof had a flaw in it while the Russian himself says that its only flaw was that it was not in English), this is unlike any true story of plagiarism in mathematics that I have ever heard and I fear that it is insulting to the field of mathematics and to the Fields medal to suggest that such an act of plagiarism could not only occur but be so rewarded.
