Hello,

I thought it was high-time I should introduce myself...

Hello...

My name is David, and I'm a puzzler...

I was born in Bolton, Lancashire, England, in June 1959. 

I was fortunate to be university-educated (fully funded by the UK 
Government), at UMIST, in Manchester. I have a degree in Electrical and 
Electronic Engineering. I think that experience would have been a more 
fruitful one if I had delayed university entry for a few years, and worked 
first, for a couple of years.

I'm not particularly good with people - I tend to favour numbers and 
mathematics to chatting about TV and fashion, but I'll try to look 
interested, under most circumstances...

Favourite books: "Elementary Analysis" by Dakin and Porter, "Further 
Elementary Analysis" by Porter, "Amusements in Mathematics" by Henry 
Ernest Dudeney. More recently, "The Book of Numbers" by John H. Conway and 
Richard K. Guy (more of that later, I suspect).

Favourite music: Beethoven, Moonlight Sonata. Bach Busoni, Chaconne.

That's all from me. Long may you puzzle.

Best wishes.
