curprev 15:5915:59, 1 May 2024 OmneIgnotum talk contribs 65,484 bytes −332 In the oral history Knuth says "I got to be on television"; presumably Shasha & Lazere misinterpreted that or a similar statement as "I won a television." When Knuth was in 8th grade (~1952), most Americans still didn't own a set (https://www.census.gov/history/pdf/1978tvsets.pdf), and even a small one cost the equivalent of $2300 today (https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_I0gEAAAAMBAJ/page/n124/mode/1up); it seems unlikely that a candy company was giving them away as prizes. undo Tag: references removed
