Re: [math-fun] P'r'aps not fun, but curious

Quoting Richard Guy <rkg@cpsc.ucalgary.ca>:

[...] The curiosity is that the entry comes up, whether you search on `Liss' or on `Kiss' -- presumably MR have spotted the typo, and put in an alias. [...]

The possibility exists that they are using something like soundex. Have you ever noticed the number of times that misspelt items nevertheless produce the sought item on Barnes and Noble, or on Google, for that matter? (Not to be confused with the number of times they come up with total irrelevancies, of coures.) - hvm ------------------------------------------------- www.correo.unam.mx UNAMonos Comunicándonos
