[edit] Good article!

Good job folks. This passed nomination for meeting the good article criteria well. The only thing I would warn is that the headings need to be put in the correct order according to the manual of style. Try to fix that before this can be considered for FAC.--Esprit15d 20:53, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Done, and thanks. Essexmutant 21:00, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Age/Sinclair ZX81 discrepancy

No idea if anyone reads this. Great article, but I have to question one point:

"Beevers's father taught him how to work out permutations and probabilities on a Sinclair ZX81 computer when he was 7"

But if: "born 9 December 1967 "

Then he'd have been 13 when the ZX81 was released in 1981...

Anyway, hope that helps!

If the Sinclair ZX81 article is correct in that the release date is 1981, then this article is incorrect:
Beevers's father taught him how to work out permutations and probabilities on a Sinclair ZX81 computer when he was 7, and later taught him how to count cards in blackjack from age 10.
I have reworded the text so that his age is not reflected in the reference to the Sinclair computer. If anyone can correct it further then please do so. ♣♦ SmartGuy ♥♠ 15:45, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
