(Hmm maybe I should also write a blogpost about this)

The error was saying that "infinitely many alphabets can be generated" but there is a finite number of parameters which have a finite range of values. If Knuth has just written "a humongous number of alphabets" he would be correct.

I know a guy (ricbit) who have 4 or more

The biggest shame of my life is that I had one of these and somehow managed to lose it.

But what's the most Reward checks anyone has ever held?

I'm surprised we haven't heard of anyone running an AI on Donald Knuth's books to generate the largest collection of checks in existence...

What a brilliant teaching technique, think of how many people studied his work for bounties that they would never cash.

Interesting how no other writers in the field seem to have adopted Knuths' strategy to get their books proofread to the point of being bullet proof.
