Talk:Racetrack (game)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What is the best way to cross-link the articles called Racetrack and Race track? Should the articles be moved to Race track (facility) and Race track (paper and pencil game), with a disambiguation page and some redirects?--Niels Ø 09:48, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)

I think that Racetrack should redirect to Race track, and the game should be Racetrack (game). If you look at the "What links here" page for this page, you can see that almost all refer to the racing facility, not the graph game. If no one objects I'll take care of these moves in the next day or so. --Fastfission 18:41, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Martin Gardner?

From [1]:

The game was apparently first presented by Martin Gardner in his "Mathematical Games" column in Scientific American.

If anyone can confirm this, it should go in the article.--Niels Ø 22:19, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Nice find, but confirming this will be difficult, since the Scientific American archives in the web are only available from year 1993 onwards and your source says it was read from a book published in 1983. I just read the A quarter-century of recreational mathematics article but in vain. --ZeroOne (talk | @) 01:51, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
