Is this the same Richard K. Guy who composed endgame studies and was co-divisor of the GBR code (that one was born in 1916)? Seems more than possible from the bio given in this article, but I don't know. --Camembert 17:24, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

I would think so - this [1] describes the endgame study author as Professor of Mathematics at the University of Calgary from 1965-1982, which is definitely the same person. Hv 18:17, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
Well spotted; thanks. I shall add a mention of his activity in that field to the article. --Camembert 19:24, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] United Kingdom?

The stub sorting says that Guy is a UK mathematician, but nothing in the article itself says this! —Toby Bartels 22:22, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I have found an article with many interesting notes on Richard K. Guy. It may be useful, it is an interview with the same.
