You certainly want to know where the 17's and the yellow pigs come from.They reportedly got the yellow pig 17 idea at a bar.David Kelly got involved in summer math programs.Here is some history of that from Larry Carter....The answer is, it's probably impossible.Sometime around 1957, possibly in response to the Russian's launching of Sputnik, a summer program was set up at St.Paul's School, a prep school in New Hampshire.They were also subjected to English classes, daily chapel, mandatory sports, and lights out at 10:30.He set about revising the curriculum, away from freshman math and towards Neat Stuff.NSF funding started coming in under Kelly's reign (the NSF was bursting with money in those days.So now we have a dedicated staff (Dan Heisey and Dave Gay, among others.In any case, Kelly and Dan Heisey applied to the NSF and got funding to set up a program at UNH, where Dan was a professor.Kelly's staff of course followed and were joined by Mike Spivak and the Yellow Pig.They tried in '70, and were wrong.Kelly gives a talk at each program about seventeen.The program visits his home (in groups) a couple of times.In addition he has somewhere between 289 and 4913 yellow pigs lying around his house.Kelly beat them in a competition.The rivals had to name a property of 23, and Kelly (and Don Goldberg) would reply with at least 2 similar properties of 17....In the end, the rivals ran out of interesting properties!Dictionary of numbers, 17 (in French).DYNAMIC CAMPAIGN ID IN QUERY
