We probably ought not to let today pass without noting that it is
Richard Guy's 100th birthday.
There is so much we owe to him, but perhaps the single invention?
discovery? that is most relevant to OEIS is the famous
The Strong Law of Small Numbers
The American Mathematical Monthly, Vol.95, No.8 (Oct 1988), pp.697-712
https://www.jstor.org/stable/2322249
The Second Strong Law of Small Numbers
Mathematics Magazine, Vol.63, No.1 (Feb 1990), pp.3-20
https://www.jstor.org/stable/2691503
And if anyone wants to complete the factorisation of any Fermat number
2^(2^n)+1 for n>=12 and claim $10, they still have a few hours left to
do so ... [ http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=18640 ]
