problem
Order any subset of the following twentieth century mathematical achievements chronologically, from earliest to most recent. If you correctly place at least six of the events in order, your score will be , where is the number of events in your sequence; otherwise, your score will be zero. Note: if you order any number of events with one error, your score will be zero.

Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Order any subset of the following twentieth century mathematical achievements chronologically, from earliest to most recent. If you correctly place at least six of the events in order, your score will be 2(n−5), where n is the number of events in your sequence; otherwise, your score will be zero. Note: if you order any number of events with one error, your score will be zero. A). Axioms for Set Theory published by Zermelo B). Category Theory introduced by Mac Lane and Eilenberg C).
