    The connection is “Philosophers’ Football”

    1. philosopher’s football(also called Phutball) is a two-player board game described in “winning ways for your mathematical plays” by Elwyn, John and Richard
    2. The Philosophers’ Football Match is a Monty Python sketch depicting a football match in the Olympiastadion at the 1972 Munich Olympics
    between philosophers representing Greece and Germany.
    Confucius is the referee, Georg “Nobby” Hegel captain of German team and Socrates captian of greek team. Socrates scores the only goal of the game

    Philosophers football. The book in the first pic, ‘Winning Ways for your Mathematical Plays’, talks about Philosophers football.The second pic is monty python’s philosophers football sketch.


  17. mankuTimma Says:

    The Philosopher’s football.
    1)Winning Ways for your Mathematical Plays describes a two player game with that name. But it is in 2nd volume not the 1st.
    2)Monty Python’s sketch with the same name featuring football match between Greek and German philosophers.
