In my defense, I wasn't so much trying to get the question closed as to explain why I don't care for it and to get you to explain it better to me. The main problem is that I don't understand the goal; it looks like either an attempt to start a math history discussion or some sort of social experiment, neither of which make sense on MO. The other problem is that it reads like you're handing out a quiz for a class nobody realized they were enrolled in, asking people to take the quiz especially if they are unlikely to know the right answers; it's patronizing. | |

It sure seems like what you wanted to do was tell us some cool history of mathematics, which is a fine thing to do in general, but not the purpose of MathOverflow. That's great stuff to put on a blog or website, but it doesn't really make it a question. | |
