Long Q with a short Ans:During WWII, Bill Wright's Wellington bomber was shot down over Holland and the interrogations that followed were traumatic . Years later it all came to him as a nightmare. As a POW-prisoner of war the Geneva convention allowed him not to answer beyond his name, rank and serial no. This he had to repeat over and over again. The whole thing was tense, claustrophobic and deadly. So what did this inspire him to?

sorry for my posting about AARD - this is the Aaron Reynolds code that prevented Win 3.1 from running on top of any other DOS apart from MS DOS. Aaron Reynolds was the programmer at MS who did this.





Did not realise that I started a thread about this. Sorry :(



OK, here's another one:



Which famous Mathematician is associated with the following theorem:



" x^n + y^n = z^n



has no non-zero integer solutions for x, y and z when n > 2"



(Hint: This mathematician is also famous for his work on prime numbers.)

Yes, you are right - that was Fermat's last theorem.



OK: here is a little tough one:



In the November, 1970 issue of the National Geographic, in an article called Behold the Computer Revolution, someone is quoted as saying 'If computers can match boys and girls for college dates, they can match job-seeking men for man-seeking jobs.' Who said it?



Richard Nixon

Jimmy Hoffa

Ted Kennedy
