Jim Lambek liked to talk about his contact with Brouwer when Brouwer came
to Montreal. And i think he told me a story about Brouwer comparing two
mathematicians finding different answers to the same problem to two
musicians playing the same piece in different keys.
Does anyone here recall such a story?
best, Colin
