Talk:Sylver coinage

I know that _Winning Ways_ attributes the finiteness theorem to Sylvester. But Conway invented Sylver Coinage long after Sylvester was dead. How could Sylvester have proved a theorem about it?

Does anyone have a reference for this? I don't think it's in the article of Sylvester's that the book references, but I don't have a copy of the article at hand. Sicherman (talk) 02:06, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

The reference wasn't on the page so I've added it. Sicherman (talk) 16:54, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Never mind, apparently the answer is yes. Moved to https://sicherman.net/sylver/index.html — I'll update our link. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:41, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
