How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T231158 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Conway’s Game of Sprouts
Conway’s Game of Sprouts is a pencil-and-paper topological game in which players alternately connect dots with lines under simple rules, leading to rich combinatorial and mathematical analysis.
-
B.
De ratiociniis in ludo aleae
De ratiociniis in ludo aleae is a pioneering 17th-century treatise on probability theory, particularly as applied to games of chance.
-
C.
Theory of Games and Economic Behavior
Theory of Games and Economic Behavior is a foundational 1944 book by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern that established game theory as a rigorous mathematical framework for analyzing strategic decision-making in economics.
-
D.
Surreal numbers
Surreal numbers are a class of numbers introduced by John H. Conway that form an extensive ordered field encompassing the real numbers, infinite quantities, and infinitesimals within a unified framework.
-
E.
Kalai–Smorodinsky bargaining solution
The Kalai–Smorodinsky bargaining solution is a cooperative game theory concept that selects a fair agreement between parties by preserving proportional gains relative to their best possible outcomes.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Subject: Winning Ways for your Mathematical Plays Description of subject: Winning Ways for your Mathematical Plays is a multi-volume book on combinatorial game theory that popularizes and systematically explores mathematical games and their underlying structures.
