                                    Oh C*ck! I had the "TH" from the mastermind clues, and knew it wasn't an "O" in index 1. So the "U" has to be right, and then the computing clues gave me his name.

                                        I had to buy my own copy of "The Art of Computer Programming" at Uni - and a lot of beer tokens it cost too!

                                          I never even heard of Donald Knuth....maybe I read the wrong books when I was at the university (probably), or he isn't well known in Germany (probably not) ;P
