Is it true that Szelepcsényi proved the theorem as a tutorial exercise? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.210.152.31 (talk) 21:13, 15 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

I think this is a mix-up with what happend to George Dantzig, who indeed solved a statistics problem (something about Student's t-tests, I think) he erroneously thought to be an exercise. According to Lukas Polacek on Lipton's blog, Szelepcsényi was shown this problem by his master thesis advisor, Branislav Rovan, who warned him not to spend too much time on it.

The link to nondeterministic is a link to a disambiguation page. That needs to get fixed. Michael Hardy (talk) 03:13, 7 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
