of 22 - chairman of a math department at a university. Several years

3. Give the number of the formula that has killed 27 people, none of
whom were mathematicians or soldiers.
4. Rumors define algebraic topologists as people who have problems at
breakfast because they can't distinguish between these 2 objects.

6. Great mathematicians can be split into two categories: those who
have this type of mind and those who don't. What am I talking about?
7. Name a 3-word phrase that summarizes Goedel's idea, which he had

8. Winkpedia defines Russell's barber paradox as:
