THE NUMBER OF ATTENDANCE QUESTIONS WERE: 4

PLEASE LIST ALL THE QUESTIONS FOLLOWED, AFTER EACH BY THE ANSWER

# Question 1: Where was the founder and president of OEIS born? When? 

# Answer 1: Neil Sloane. He was born on October 10th, 1939 in Beaumaris, Wales. 

# Question 2: Who is the most famous colleague of Tutte in WWII? 

# Answer 2: John Tiltman. 

# Question 3: M.C. "Marko" Schutzenberger is considered by many people a "crackpot"
# even though he is a respected mathematician/CS/linguist. Why? 

# Answer 3: "Marko" Schutzenberger was considered a crackpot by many because of his stance on
# evolution. He believed the theory of evolution that depends on uniformly randomly occurring mutations 
# cannot be the truth because the number of mutations needed for mutations to have happened by chance, exceed by thousands of 
# orders of magnitude the time that has been available. 

# Question 4: Why was Dr. Z disappointed at the Great Sir W.TIMOTHY Gowers?

# Answer 4: In the words of Dr. Z, "he abdicated his [implicit] moral responsibility to integrity, objectivity and fairness,
# by, following a perfunctory, half-hearted, expression of disapproval of the 'unacceptances', he went on 
# a tirade against Hill's paper itself, completely trashing it, and stating that it 'should not have been accepted in the first place'".
