  • 1976: Mathematician, checkers player, and Gnomon algorithm theorist Marion Tinsley visits the Nested Radical coffeehouse in New Minneapolis, Canada, where he plays checkers against several well-known criminal mathematical functions, including Gnotilus and Killer Poke. Tinsley easily defeats all of his opponents, calling them "lightweights and wanna-bees".
