Ronald Cramer in 1997:
"Suppose one were to convince an opponent that one has expert knowledge about Komodo dragons or about the life and times of Pierre de Fermat, without revealing which. One could propose the following protocol..."
... what do you think the protocol is?
As a very minor clue, his proposal involves preparing 2 lists of 1000 questions on each topic.
Ideas?
