title: A Tough Nut for Proof Procedures creator: McCarthy, John subject: Artificial Intelligence description: It is well known to be impossible to tile with dominoes a checkerboard with two opposite corners deleted. This fact is readily stated in the first order predicate calculus, but the usual proof which involves a parity and counting argument does not readily translate into predicate calculus. We conjecture that this problem will be very difficult for programmed proof procedures,. date: 1964-07 type: Preprint type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/postscript identifier: http://cogprints.org/414/2/toughnut.ps identifier: McCarthy, John (1964) A Tough Nut for Proof Procedures.
