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 13 OF 277 ·  Later Kibitzing> Nov-07-06    hitman84: <technical draw> my guess is 1.First 3 are heads.. hhhth,hhhtt Nov-07-06    technical draw: That was quick <hitman84>. Let's see what others answer. Nov-07-06    kellmano: First three are heads, one in eight. First four are heads one in sixteen. No matter how many times the coin is tossed surely. I will be amazed if the answer is any different, and in a way i hope it is. Nov-07-06    kellmano: I'm sorry, but it must be a trick question of some form. Could you give out a clue? Nov-07-06    kellmano: Cheers. My lips are sealed. Nov-07-06    technical draw: Again due to technical dificulties my problem has been cancelled. Darn I can't get the hang of this thing! Nov-07-06    technical draw: There are a zillion puzzles on the internet, but by golly I'm gonna make one up thats going to be the mother of all puzzles! In the mean time what's half of one plus one? Nov-07-06    ganstaman: In order for the first 4 to be heads, the first 3 must be heads as well. Therefore, everytime the first 4 are heads, the first 3 were heads too. Sometimes, though, the first 3 will be heads but the first 4 won't be heads. So, the first 3 will be heads more often than the first 4. Nov-08-06    hitman84: <ganstaman>Yes, That's the trick in the question. let.. 1. First 3 are heads = A 2. First 4 are heads = B A = {hhhth, hhhtt, hhhht, hhhhh} B = {hhhht, hhhhh} A has the greater chance of ocurring. Nov-11-06    technical draw: Here is a non-math problem: A man goes to a fast food restaurant and orders Burger and fries. The order costs $3.25. He pays and leaves. When he gets home he realizes that he had paid with a rare quarter worth $50,000. He rushes to the restaurant and informs the clerk. The clerk doesn't know what to do so she calls the Manager. The manager goes to the cash register and sure enough there is the rare coin. The manager then takes a quarter out of his pocket, replaces the rare coin with his quarter and claims the rare coin for himself! The man sues claiming the rare coin as his property. You are the judge. How will you decide? Nov-11-06    Archives: Depends. What kind of burger did he buy? Nov-11-06    tamar: Flip a coin? Nov-11-06    technical draw: The events took place in the US. The coin is a US quarter legal tender. Nov-11-06    themadhair: <technical draw> Legally he has to prove ownership of the coin in order to claim it. You posted <When he gets home he realizes>. This implies that he had owned the coin for a while OR had just legally aquired it. In the former situation he should have insurance on it proving ownership and in the latter he should have witnesses whom he aquired the coin off. Both should suffice legally to prove ownership. Where is Ron Barber? Nov-11-06    technical draw: <themadhair> wrong. Nov-11-06    Sneaky: If you ask me, the dummy just lost his quarter. Suppose the man DIDN'T know that the coin was so rare, and he paid for his burger with it, and the owner spotted the value of the coin. In that situation no sane person would argue that the store owner has a responsibility to give the man the coin back, or any share of its proceeds. But in this case, the customer does happen to know it's value. What difference does that make? None that I can see. Nov-11-06    technical draw: <Sneaky> You're almost there. The judge added a little something just in case. Nov-11-06    technical draw: Notice that in <themadhair>'s post he says.."or had just legally acquired it.." How does one legally acquire a coin? Nov-11-06    technical draw: Well, will be back tomorrow with the ruling. CUL. Nov-12-06    technical draw: The judge ruled against Dumb Collector and for Astute Manager. There were many ramifications and arguments but basically the one that nailed it was the "you can't own it if you spend it doctrine". For instance if I buy a TV set and pay for it with a $100 bill I can't leave the store claiming the $100 bill is still mine. (If that were possible I'd be a millionare, claiming every single dollar I've spent as mine.) Since a legal transaction took place with legal tender changing hands, Astute Manager cannot be legally forced to make another transaction. (that is exchange the coin). Actually the value of the coin is immaterial. Suppose it was just a regular quarter. Could someone force you to exchange a coin that is legally in your possesion? Nope. And finally the last argument, that of intention. It was not the intention of dumb collector to pay with the rare coin. The judge ruled that legal tender exists for only one intention, to be traded. Coin collecting (actually hoarding) is not legal use of legal tender. So maybe he should have bought some chicken tenders instead? ha ha.. If you see the program Antique's Roadshow you'll see a lot of people jumping with joy cause they obtained something of value for practically nothing and no previous owner shows up to claim it. Nov-12-06    OhioChessFan: The coin had no particular value to the Astute Manager until the Dumb Collector unilaterally shared information with him. If I had been the judge, I might have worked to find a precedent to defend a ruling that the Dumb Collector provided a service to Astute Manager and should receive some compensation. In any case, I would refer to Astute Manager as Unethical Manager, but law and ethics have little in common. Nov-12-06    OhioChessFan: FWIW, I think the owner would have a claim against the manager. The manager doesn't own the money in the till. Nov-12-06    technical draw: Ok let's call him Unethical Manager. If it had been me, I would have surely returned the coin (and recieved insults from my friends) but I would have been under no legal obligation to do so. Nov-12-06    technical draw: Yes, you're right <Ohio> The store owners had a greater claim to the coin than dumb collector. But no such claim was uhh, claimed. Nov-12-06    technical draw: Coin collectors and stamp collectors have that re-occuring nightmare where they spend the million dollar coin for a cup of coffee or mail the letter with the million dollar stamp.
