Jun 21, 2010 at 9:09 comment added Victor Protsak Pure mathematicians speaking... As someone who takes interest in elections, let me offer a more practical maxim: "It's not the vote that matters, it's (the how of) the count".

Jun 21, 2010 at 7:58 comment added Pete L. Clark @James: In the case of a tie, the correct answer will be the complete list of pairs with the maximal number of joint papers. :)
Jun 21, 2010 at 4:49 comment added JBorger Rather, it's most likely unique, and if not, at least there are only finitely many ties. :)

Jun 21, 2010 at 2:33 comment added Pete L. Clark Though I don't mind the loss of reputation, I'm not sure why this was made community wiki. This is a question with a unique correct answer...
Jun 21, 2010 at 1:55 comment added Greg Kuperberg It's evidently not a record, but Craig Tracy and Harold Widom have 44 in MathSciNet and I'm sure more in the pipeline. (In MathSciNet, the Borweins only have 25.)
Jun 21, 2010 at 1:31 comment added François G. Dorais So people don't waste too much time checking MathSciNet - George Grätzer and E. T. Schmidt have 59 - Jaroslav Nešetřil and Vojtěch Rödl have 55 - Neil Robertson and Paul Seymour have 53 - Neil Hindman and Dona Strauss have 49 - Yuri Gurevich and Andreas Blass have 44.

Jun 20, 2010 at 23:57 comment added Pete L. Clark @OAC: For some reason I feel like revealing the names may spoil the fun for some. But at the same time I worry that the sentiment of the previous sentence is obnoxious, so I clearly can't win on this one. How about some hints: they are both Canadian algebraic number theorists, one in Prince George, the other in Ottawa.
