Unnecessarily complicated question.

1 and 4 pioneered this technique which was based on the work pioneered by 2 and used by 1 and 2 in a technique which used 3. The technique of 1 and 4 did not use 3 and just used (mod) and ^.

What technique did 1 and 4 pioneer and who is 2?

1. 2.

2. 4.

What poem connects the scientist and the author? And who are they?

Apologies for posting the question late. Random burst of social life which we keep talking about is the cause :)

This condition was first reported by a US (wisconsin) doctor sometime in the 1990s and it got characterized as a new sort of repetitive strain injury.

Pics of one such case here:

A successor to this condition was again reported recently (June 7 2007 paper in the New England Journal of Medicine).

What are the two conditions?

@Rahulk: A current question “closes” when a new question is posted. We try to post the new question by about 10AM IST every morning. However, accounting for timezones, meetings, traffic, crazy net connections and random outbursts of a social life, it does occasionally get delayed by an hour or two. So to be safe you can probably answer in the evenings/nights (if you’re in India)
