LOUIS STUMPERS (born Aug-30-1911, died Sep-27-2003, 92 years old) Netherlands [what is this?] Frans Louis Henri Marie Stumpers was born in Eindhoven, Netherlands, on 30 August 1911. (1) He was champion of the Eindhoven Chess Club in 1938, 1939, 1946, 1947, 1948, 1949, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1955, 1957, 1958, 1961 and 1963, (2) and champion of the North Brabant Chess Federation (Noord Brabantse Schaak Bond, NBSB) in 1934, 1935, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944, 1946, 1948, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1959, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966 and 1967. (3) Stumpers participated in five Dutch Chess Championships, with his high-water mark a fourth place finish in 1948, (4) and represented his country at the 1st European Team Championship in Vienna in 1957 (two games, vs Josef Platt and Max Dorn). (5) From 1945 until about 1956, he was first Secretary and then Chairman of the NBSB. (3) Stumpers was a physicist, and worked for the Philips company as an assistant from 1928. During 1934-1937, he studied at the University of Utrecht, where he took the master's degree. (6) In 1938 Stumpers was again employed at Philips, (6) and at a tournament in 1942, he supplied the hungry chess players with food from his employer. (3) After the war, Stumpers made a career in physics, with patents and awards on information ("radio") technology. He received degrees from several universities and colleges, including in Poland and Japan. (1, 3, 6) Stumpers retired from Philips in 1972, but continued teaching, (6) partly as professor at the University of Utrecht (1977-1981). (7) He was also Vice President (1975-1981) and Honorary President (1990-2003) of URSI, the International Union of Radio Science. (8) Louis Stumpers married Mieke Driessen in 1954. They had five children, three girls and two boys.

ARCHIVED POSTS < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 214 OF 277 ·  Later Kibitzing> Oct-07-13    Shams: Ridiculously easy math question for you guys. I want to find the true odds on money line bets. Is it as simple as taking the absolute value of both bets and splitting the difference? E.g. the Seahawks are huge favorites at home this weekend against the Tennessee Titans. One site has the money line bets as follows: Seattle -1000 Tennessee +650 Would this mean the true odds are Seattle -825/Tennessee +825? So the given lines reflect a house commission of 35/2 = 17.5% on winning bets? Oct-07-13    Marmot PFL: I don't bet NFL much anymore but I would probably take the Titans +13.5 Big line for a pro game and Tenn is a decent road team. (this advice is worth just what you paid for it). Don't know the exact house take but it is very high on sports bets, one reason I don't play them. Doubt they can be beaten on a regular basis. Oct-07-13    Marmot PFL: <Seattle -1000 Tennessee +650 Would this mean the true odds are Seattle -825/Tennessee +825? So the given lines reflect a house commission of 35/2 = 17.5% on winning bets?> I think how this works is that Seattle should win ML/(ML-100) of the time, or 90.909...% Tenn should win 100/(ML+100) of the time, or 13.333...% Adding these together and subtracting 100 gives approx 4.24%, which I think is the house edge. Oct-07-13    Shams: <Marmot> I'm skeptical that any sportsbook would set the vig at less than 5%. Oct-07-13    Marmot PFL: <I'm skeptical that any sportsbook would set the vig at less than 5%> Probably right, when I played (long ago) it was about 9.2% Remember, the loser pays 100%... Oct-12-13    talisman: Baylor! yes Baylor! has scored 70+ pts. in the last 3 games. who was the last team to score 70+ pts. in 4?? Oct-13-13    talisman: it was yale boys...keep an eye Baylor though... Nov-04-13    al wazir: Insert punctuation as needed to make sense of the following (due to Martin Gardner): Would the sentence I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish and And and And and Chips in my Fish And Chips sign have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before Fish and between Fish and and and and and And and And and and and and and And and And and and and and and Chips as well as after Chips? Nov-04-13    kellmano: Classic. Had a quick go, but it outstumped me. It reminds me of an inferior problem I saw at school - can you put the word 'had' ten times consecutively in a sentence. Won't give the solution in case anyone wants to have a go, but I found it unsatisfactory. Nov-04-13    Sneaky: <can you put the word 'had' ten times consecutively in a sentence> No, but I can put the word "buffalo" eight times :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffal... Nov-04-13    Jim Bartle: John while Jack had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher. Nov-04-13    kellmano: <Jim> yeah that's the answer I've seen. Seems unsatisfactory to me because it relies on an error. If there was a gap and Jim had had 'had had had had had had had had had had had' for some reason, that would be an even longer string. Nov-04-13    Jim Bartle: John, while Jack had had "had had," had had "had"; "had had" had had a better effect on the teacher. Nov-04-13    Shams: Would the sentence: "I want to put a hyphen between the words <Fish> and <And>, and <And> and <Chips> in my <Fish And Chips> sign" ...have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed: before <Fish>, and between <Fish> and <and>, and <and> and <And>, and <And> and <and>, and <and> and <And>, and <And> and <and>, and <and> and <Chips>, as well as after <Chips>? Nov-04-13    al wazir: <Shams>: Very good! And very prompt, or if I may say so, punctual. I think you need hyphens in "Fish-And-Chips sign," and I would have used quotation marks (inverted commas) where you used angle brackets, but they function the same way. My own solution differs only in small details, as follows: Wouldn't the sentence "I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish and And and And and Chips in my Fish-And-Chips sign" have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before "Fish," and between "Fish" and "and," and "and" and "And," and "And" and "and," and "and" and "And," and "And" and "and," and "and" and "Chips," as well as after "Chips"? The wiki article citing Martin Gardner's version uses quotation marks a lot less copiously, but because it treats it as direct speech and encloses the whole thing in quotes (as you did), it interchanges single and double quotation marks: <Martin Gardner offered the example: "Wouldn't the sentence 'I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish and And and And and Chips in my Fish-And-Chips sign' have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before Fish, and between Fish and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and Chips, as well as after Chips?"> Classical Latin used neither lower-case letters nor punctuation nor spacing between words. Adopting that convention eliminates the whole issue, at some cost in clarity: WOULDNTTHESENTENCEIWANTTOPUTAHYPHENBETWEENTHEWOR- - DSFISHANDANDANDANDANDCHIPSINMYFISHANDCHIPSSIGNHA- - VEBEENCLEARERIFQUOTATIONMARKSHADBEENPLACEDBEFORE- - FISHANDBETWEENFISHANDANDANDANDANDANDANDANDANDAND- - ANDANDANDANDANDANDANDANDANDANDANDCHIPSASWELLASAF- - TERCHIPS Nov-08-13    Sneaky: Puzzle from xkcd: <White to continue insisting this is a chessboard.> http://xkcd.com/1287/ For extra credit, see if you can read the secret alt-text hiding behind the graphic. It's a prediction about the Anand-Carlsen match ;-) Nov-08-13    Sneaky: How many times can you stack the word "is" in one sentence? I can easily come up with 5, who can beat that? <I wondered to myself when Bill Clinton declared "It depends what the meaning of is is.", is "is is" truly proper English?> (And the potential answer: <Yes, "is is" is.>) Nov-08-13    Sneaky: On the subject of <right-brained vs left-brained> check out this online test and find out which one you are: http://sommer-sommer.com/braintest/ Nov-08-13    al wazir: <Sneaky>: "whichy"? According to this test, I use the two sides equally, which is what I would expect. (As Kipling wrote, < I would go without shirt or shoe, Friend, tobacco or bread, Sooner than lose for a minute the two Separate sides of my head!>) I am curious to know if anyone gets a different result. Nov-10-13    Sneaky: I used both sides equally as well. Some questions are ridiculous, like the one about putting your hand on your head. Of course I used my left hand since my right hand was holding a mouse! Nov-10-13    johnlspouge: I used both sides equally as well. Nov-11-13    al wazir: I went through the test a second time, choosing the *first* of the options presented in each case. (I'm sure that set a record for the fastest the test has ever been taken.) Again the conclusion was that I was using both sides of my head equally. I have always been concerned that I might be a cold, calculating rationalist whose lucubrations exercise only one of my cerebral hemispheres, or a flighty artistic type whose fancies emerge from the other. It is reassuring to learn that I am so bilateral. Nov-22-13    Sneaky: You are driving in your car, windows up, with a helium balloon floating on a string. You slam the brakes. What does the helium balloon do? Go toward the front of the car, go toward the back of the car, or stay in roughly the same place? Nov-22-13    john barleycorn: <Sneaky: You are driving in your car, windows up, with a helium balloon floating on a string.> Why will I do that? Nov-23-13    Sneaky: Maybe you are a professional clown on the way to work?
