I wondered if anyone would mention that--it didn't start with the game.

who also played that at 110 baud many moons ago

I didn't know about the math origin until I looked it up. Must have been
asleep when that was mentioned in class.

I played at a blazing 1200 baud on a CRT hooked to a PDP-8.

How could have anyone guessed "xyzzy" without looking at the source code,
like we did? (Cheaters!)
