Wow.  Then your mathematics must be top-notch.

Well, I did ace my math SAT.  How about you?

I did well enough, I suppose.  I do not recall the exact score, but I
can say I did not get the top score possible (if that's what you mean
by "ace").

Yes 800 (unequaled in my high school.)

But if you must drop
names, why not fill in a few details?  When and where did he quote
you?  What was the content of the quote?  In what context?

Martin Davis quoted me during a discussion of paradoxes and
formalizing.

You only answered one of the questions!  When did he quote you?
Where?  What was the content?

How many times has he quoted you?

Zero times, of course.  I surely never intended to imply otherwise.

Maybe if you made an 800, too, he'd quote you?

I don't want to reveal my true identity. (I have no comment on the
rumor that I am actually Torkel Franzen.)

C-B
