| Mar 1, 2010 at 0:06 | comment | added | Douglas S. Stones | To me, this seems like a perfectly good question for MO -- it's a question about history of mathematics (I don't remember seeing this type of question excluded anywhere) and the answer could conceivably be included in a paper. Often the best answers to questions make use of insider information (this is what the community is for). It's certainly much better than those "What's your favourite book/theorem/lemma/etc...". | |

| Feb 28, 2010 at 15:55 | comment | added | Q.Q.J. | It's a fair point you make but perhaps an article has been written somewhere that I am not aware of and then this would not really require insider information. If someone could provide a reference to such an article I would consider their answer to be correct. | |
| Feb 28, 2010 at 15:42 | comment | added | Pete L. Clark | This doesn't seem like a good MO question to me -- e.g. because it requires insider information. How are we supposed to decide whether a given answer is correct? (Also, have you tried asking Conway?) | |
