recipe of the day: surprise & delight

[radium]

ingredients:
one (1) nonogram, aka griddler, aka "Paint By Numbers"
one (1) fetish for integer sequences
one (1) elusive/ubiquitous (eluquitous?) Jess
one (1) modern day Paul Erdös

shake vigorously.
let settle for several years.

And voila! A combinatorial problem associated with nonograms.

Perhaps with some molding it could be fitting in a John Conway / Mathematical Intelligencer kind of way? I don't know anything about publishing in mathematics, so I'll have to ask Nolan... if I ever happen to meet him! :)

publishing is easy!.. er, once you rephrase all the style that made it so much fun to write in the first place. but learning archaic tech lingo is also fun, and hey !! you want a reader to make up her own mind, right? the Journal of Combinatorics editors preferred this algorithm to others it has published for equivalent sequences, but they have a rule about not publishing more than one proof. however, the JLA is publishing it, and I think the NSA had a field day with it...

a toast, to future collaborations!

Wow. Do you mean the ELA? Or the LAA? Or the Journal of Library Administration? :)

I like this Wallach fellow. I wish I'd met him while I was still a local!

Very cool! Yay, Jess B!

(This isn't one of those generated papers, is it?) ;)

i think this, and wearing your hat, may be the two closest points i ever come to cwatsets.
