| Feb 1, 2011 at 22:00 | comment | added | Steven Landsburg | I invented the same proof in grad school, and someone I showed it to --- probably Rick Miranda --- found a published reference to it. That was 25 years ago, so the reference has to be at least that old --- though I'm not recalling any more details. | |
