The external links are both dead. Need updating.

no, the second one is ok, but you need Acrobat or something to see it. Not very "accessible" 203.218.141.99 07:32, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Both links work fine for me. On is a pdf file; one reads it with acrobat. The other is a ps file. On the Linux machine I'm using, with my preferences set as they are, I read it with ghostview. On Microsoft systems, I suspect the appropriate software would be called gsview or something like that. Michael Hardy 20:19, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] example: one-child policy

Suggest:

"As a concrete example, suppose in one generation there are 100 persons (50 male and 50 female) with unique surnames, and a requirement that every person can participate in the conception and naming of at most one child. Then the next generation can have at most 50 unique surnames."
