Hmmmm... Alexander the Great would have just cut it. (Heck, she even mentions a guy named "Gordon" for Heaven's sake!)

I was absolutely taken aback by this negative result. Almost fifty years ago, I had just finish a six straight year study taking a PhD. I was burned out, my wife was headed to the University of Manchester, U.K., school of education as a Fulbright in art education. So I joined her and took up the study of the analytic philosophy of religion with David Palian. But to keep one foot in mathematics I taught myself knot theory. I remember working on the Conway Knot Problem. I am completely stunned at the negative result. I could not tell from these notices if John lived long enough to see the result?

Humbling, no doubt.

As the absolute value operator once said, focus on the positives!

(Okay okay! I'll stop!)

I did not even know that Conway passed away. That is sad.
