I found another website that had doc in its name that you should NOT click on- I got a warning from microsoft that was likely a scam. <br /><br />Anyway, I think we've done all we can do and I THANK you for bringing this to my attention.gasarchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03004932739846901628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-84366788321433460312021-09-26T14:39:18.313-05:002021-09-26T14:39:18.313-05:00So just search "Ramsey Theory and the History...So just search "Ramsey Theory and the History of Pre-Christian England" at Google, I can find this pdf "http://www.cs.umd.edu/~gasarch/BLOGPAPERS/ramseykings.pdf" and this "https://www.cs.umd.edu/~gasarch/COURSES/858/S13/ramseykings.pdf", as well as other relevant websites.<br />I think in the second pdf, only "http://www.cs.umd.edu/~gasarch/BLOGPAPERS/r5.pdf" indicates directly the whole story is just a joke.

But I just searched again and found the same contents as before. I guess many people may have searched similarly and then believe this joke or not.<br />I don't really know how to make things right.

The second one is new to me. <br />I will now add to the beginning of the papers that they were an April fools day joke. <br /><br />I had thought that the papers were `obviously a joke' but clearly I am mistaken. gasarchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03004932739846901628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-89795111614650907012021-09-25T12:55:57.370-05:002021-09-25T12:55:57.370-05:00I want to indicate that this joke has caused chaos...I want to indicate that this joke has caused chaos and will probably cause more chaos in the future. For example, see this paper "Ramsey Theory" at "https://www.whitman.edu/documents/Academics/Mathematics/2016/Barton.pdf", and the PPT at "https://www3.diism.unisi.it/FAC/didattica/matdid/4763.pptx", which cite this story seriously.
