I was first exposed to RPN around 1963. It was a game my aunt gave me as a present. I wish I could remember the name of the game. Players rolled dice that had logical operators and perhaps quantifiers on the faces of the dice. The goal was to construct valid logical expressions using RPN. Even for a kid that was nuts about math, the game wasn’t that interesting. Does anyone remember what I’m talking about? I’m not sure of the year, but I think there might have been ads for the game in the magazines I read, like Popular Electronics or Scientific American.
Yes, it was! Thanks so much, I just couldn't remember the name of that game. How did you recall it from over half a century ago?
Looking up used editions of WFF'N Proof on Amazon I recognize the instruction book published in 1965. That must have been around the time I received the game. It looks like more recent sets were more extensive.
Well, the game likely had a positive influence on me, I ended up with a Math degree in college. Even in high school, I understood logic and proofs better than the other kids in my school.
