*** REPLACE THIS MACHINE WITH AN ABACUS ***

Challenge: How many mathematical theorems or problems can
you think of which involve either a place name or
the name of an ethnic group?
Examples are:
	- the Konigsberg (?) bridges
	- the Chinese remainder theorem
	- the Russian peasant technique (expaonentiation for RSA)

	Reply to me and I will summarize
