	Dame Kathleen Ollerenshaw (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Kathleen Timpson was born in Manchester, England, the younger of the two daughters of Charles and Mary Timpson.
		Kathleen and Robert were married in September 1939, and Robert left almost immediately to serve with the British medical corps in World War II, although he remained in England until sent to North Africa in 1942.
		A paper that Ollerenshaw published in 1980 in the Bulletin of the Institute of Mathematics and Its Applications gave one of the first general methods for solving the Rubik cube puzzle (or the Hungarian magic cube as it was often called then) that tried to minimize the total number of moves needed.

		These questions are finally settled by Kathleen Ollerenshaw and David Bree in their new book.
		In Dame Kathleen's case it is even more remarkable, because she was 85 when she and Bree finally proved the conjectures she had earlier made.
		In her own words,"The manner in which each successive application of the properties of the binomial coefficients that characterise the Pascal triangle led to the solution will always remain one of the most magical revelations that I have been fortunate enough to experience.
