[math-fun] "The Bookie of Mensa"
Anyone remember a short comic piece from the 1980s called "The Bookie of Mensa"? It imagined a professional oddsmaker specializing in unsolved scientific and mathematical issues. (I think he declined to offer odds on the Riemann Hypothesis: "too rich for my blood".) I just did a Google search, but couldn't find it. (The title is riffing on Woody Allen's "The Whore of Mensa".)
