robot

I know Mallory won't agree, but can someone point me in the right direction to the mathematician who constructed a robot in the guise of a woman, taking it on his travels, and terrifying a sea captain

Not just Mallory. Many many others.

But at least you are asking only for a pointer, not a full answer.

I think there�s been just a bit of a misunderstanding here. The thing is, the Setter of this Quiz did make one request, which was:

�Naturally surfing the internet for answers is permitted but can I please ask you not to just post the questions on the net � that really is not in the spirit of the quiz.�

Just to clarify: he asked: CAN I PLEASE ASK YOU NOT TO JUST POST THE QUESTIONS ON THE NET.

There is no question of attempting to enforce this polite request. Or indeed of policing this or any other Quiz websites. But would it not be considerate, at the very least, to acknowledge the work that went into producing this quiz, and RESPECT the author�s request?

PS I don't have the answer to this one either, which is why I fell over your question when I was bumbling down a list from my search engine.

I agree with most of what you say, but as I pointed out, I was'nt looking for a direct answer, but some clue as to go about finding out the answer for myself. So please dont pontificate.
