Did You Lose a Camera in Chicago?
The Math Forum recently received a note that began:
"I found a camera in Chicago 12/30/07. There was a [picture of a] hand written flow chart of your website / text messaging setup...."
If that sounds like your camera and photos, please drop a line to lostcamera@mathforum.org. Include some identifying details, such as brand and model of the camera, or descriptions of other images saved on it.
The good Samaritan who found the camera has already announced it on some lost-and-found websites, and explains: "I'm not looking for a reward just the challenge of finding its owner."
