BRAWNDO Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 I submitted a proof to an unsolved problem to Scientific American Magazine in late 1960's when I used to read it every month. Very carefully wrote out the proof (no computers back then and limited access to typewriters) and mailed it in. I got a letter back from them thanking me for contribution with it stating my proof was shorter and much more elegant than solution provided by two professors but the rules state that they will publish the first received valid proof and thank you for your contribution. It was obvious from the wording they had no idea they were dealing with an eight year old child. Link for 1969 proof? Can not tell if you are being sarcastic. If you want a link on paper proof I did more recently (1995): http://www.google.co...tents/US5970171 Most of the other ones were DoD and not available to be linked. That is very impressive on both accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
