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)[reply]

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

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

Deleted the "citation needed" remark, which had appeared after "here is a combinatorial argument". The proof given stands on its own and needs no citation. 69.236.134.34 (talk) 19:30, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
