Suspected hoax. This is not my last name (talk) 15:59, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete G3. Unquestionably a hoax, albeit a fairly widely distributed one via other websites. The story being attributed to Curtis is that he developed a system of using binary digits for use in interpreting the I Ching, but found no other immediate application. True story -- except for the person involved, who is actually Gottfried Leibniz, as our article on binary code clearly relates (with references).
