Nepiophage:
I'd like to see some interaction in the shop between Emily and Hannelore. Given they are both highly intelligent and mathematically inclined, I can see them, one slow afternoon, proving Goldbach's conjecture* on the blackboard -- and then wiping it off and thinking no more about it.
(hey, it's my headcanon . . . )

* every even number is the sum of two primes.  This has been shown for every even number up to 4,000,000,000,000,000,000 and everyone believes it is true but no-one has managed to prove it.

Storel:
Fermat's Last Theorem would work, too.  :-D

Akima:
Fermat's Last Theorem was proved back in 1994.

A proof that fits on the cafe's blackboard would still be pretty impressive.

Is it cold in here?:
Marginally.
