Perhaps he cancelled it before I saw it. I cancelled it but that's been hit-or-miss since the beginning of usenet. -- Although the invention of computer science has presented several inconveniences to mankind - ask ordinary Iraqis what they think of the computers on a cruise missile -, it offers a great advantage to mathematical pedagogy: a proof is totally correct if a suitably programmed computer could understand it.

| Dan Tilque <dtilque@frontier.com>: Jul 22 10:24AM -0700 I'm tired of waiting for Calvin's input about the two items (Legends Football and Cook Is.) and have decided that they are both wrong. I waffled back and forth on the Cook Is., but decided that since I didn't give a new definition of "country", Mark's rules will be in effect. In future games, I may write a new rule that includes more countries, not just the Cook Is. but several others such as Somaliland. The new winner is Erland, with Mark as runner up and a tie between Sam Buttrey and Joshua for third. Congratulations! Answer slates from the top finishers: Erland Mark 0. Juno 0. Voyager 2 1.
