[edit] Not to be confused with ....

This theorem is not to be confused with the theorem of John Lucas (philosopher) which states that an automaton cannot represent a human mathematician. DFH 19:11, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Now we know one Lucas it isn't, perhaps someone can tell us which Lucas it is? DFH 19:16, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Édouard Lucas. An equivalent result is an exercise in Knuth, Fundamental Algorithms. Charles Matthews 19:10, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
